Bates Street Society Dinner

The Community House

Join us for a prestigious night at the Bates Street Society Dinner on Saturday, November 2, 2024! The event will feature a delicious three-course seated dinner, wine and cocktails, a contemporary-style string quartet, and inspirational recognition of pillars.

The Bates Street Society was created in 2015 to recognize donors who make significant charitable contributions to support the work and mission of The Community House in Birmingham. Members are acknowledged annually at The Bates Street Society Dinner, a black-tie event hosted by The Community House Association and Foundation Boards of Directors. The Bates Street Society Dinner also recognizes The Community House’s annual Pillars of Vibrancy: Business, Education, Culture, Health & Wellness and Philanthropy.
