The 9th annual KIDSGala charity event on Feb. 3, 2024, was held in honor of Nicole Marie Burton, who died of Leukemia at age 9 in 2013, and helped raise money for the KIDSgala organization and its mission to celebrate kids who have a life-altering illness or event. This year’s gala was hosted at The Townsend Hotel in Birmingham and featured live entertainment by The Dan Rafferty Band and a ceremony hosted by Jay Towers alongside food stations and a hosted bar.
