A Night of Legacy, Healing & Heart

Join Us for a Night of Legacy, Healing & Heart
This isn’t just a fundraiser—it’s a sacred celebration of transformation, community care, and the love that built V Marie’s Heart.

On Friday, May 9, 2025, we invite you to our first-ever banquet-style fundraiser as we celebrate two years of impact across Birmingham and beyond. Held inside the Fellowship Hall of Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, this special evening marks a milestone in our journey and honors the legacy of Vonderia Marie Jenkins, whose love continues to guide our mission.

Why This Fundraiser Matters?

Your support makes a difference! All proceeds from the fundraiser will directly benefit our community by funding programs and services that promote mental, physical, and emotional well-being, as well as professional enhancement. Our mission is to support children, teens, caretakers, and individuals striving for personal and professional growth.

We recognize that caretakers play a vital role in the well-being of their loved ones and the community. That’s why we’re dedicated to providing them with the resources, mentorship, and support they need to thrive.

We also believe that children with and without special needs thrive when they learn and grow together—building communication skills, fostering empathy, and creating lasting friendships. By connecting diverse individuals and providing support for those who care for them, we are strengthening our community and ensuring that well-being, understanding, and personal advancement are within reach for everyone.

Furthermore, we are committed to empowering individuals who face barriers to professional development but possess valuable skills. With the right support, mentorship, and resources, these individuals can unlock their potential and make meaningful contributions to their communities. We believe in creating opportunities that break down barriers and nurture talent, fostering a more inclusive and dynamic community.
