AHIF participates in Annual United Way of West Alabama Pie-Eating Contest!
|
|
This is the 5th year that AHIF Executive Director Scott Powell has participated in the UWWA Pie-Eating Contest! This year, the event changed from the pizza pies contestants had to eat and introduced a new challenge...Moon Pies! Sadly, the new challenge was met with the same outcome...Scott losing the contest. However, this year AHIF was saved by a mystery contestant who, upon winning, announced he was eating on behalf of Alabama Head Injury Foundation due to a personal connection to traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury. We are deeply thankful to Mr. John Gordon for supporting AHIF in this special way!
