Birmingham, AL- Schoolhouse Rock is back for another great year of fundraising benefiting students of Cornerstone Schools of Alabama. Barber Companies, C.S. Beatty Construction, and Strickland Trading are the presenting sponsors. The event is set for Friday, March 10th at Iron City Birmingham from 7:00 – 11:00 p.m.
Schoolhouse Rock is an annual fundraiser hosted by Cornerstone School’s Junior Board and has become one the school’s most successful events. Over the years, the event has grown from 300 to over 1,000 guests and has raised more than $1.2 million for Cornerstone’s students in the past 11 years. The 2016 event was voted Best of Birmingham in About Town Magazine.
“Schoolhouse Rock has grown each year because the Birmingham community believes in the mission of Cornerstone School,” said Junior Board President Maggie Cornelius. “Lives are being changed every day at the school.”
