Birmingham, The Magic City, is proud to host the 2024 Transplant Games! We think Forbes writer Gus Alexiou said it best: "The U.S. city currently hosting this year’s edition of the Transplant Games of America couldn’t be more apposite. Birmingham, Alabama is known to many as the 'magic city' and when it comes to giving people a second shot at life and encapsulating humankind’s capacity for generosity and altruism – you can’t get much more magical than the practice of organ donation." This prestigious event celebrates the incredible journeys of organ transplant recipients, the generosity of donors and the support of families and medical professionals. It’s a time to honor the power of giving and the strength of those impacted by organ donation. As the games come to a close this week, we hope we've shown the world why Birmingham is the perfect place for such a momentous, and magical, occasion. 🌟💚 A big thanks to Forbes for shedding light on organ donation and all the issues surrounding it.

Our 🧬 Beakers & Brews 🍻 June event at Brock's Gap Brewing Company was a great success! Thanks to all of you who joined us for this happy hour networking event exclusively for our vibrant bioscience community in the Greater Birmingham Region. Having Christy Roddy of Corporate Realty and Alan Paquette of the Hoover Healthcare Authority share about the exciting progress with the new Health and Wellness District at Riverchase Corporate Park, was undoubtedly a highlight. This event wouldn’t have been possible without the generous support of our sponsors, Brasfield & Gorrie, LLC and Abacus Technologies, and the participation of ecosystem leaders and partners like City of Hoover and 58 INC, who work with us at the Birmingham Business Alliance to grow this incredible bioscience community!
