Exceptional Evening — March 26, 2026
The 3rd Annual Exceptional Evening was a truly meaningful and memorable night at The Fairhope Inn, bringing together community, connection, and support for the Exceptional Foundation Gulf Coast.
Guests enjoyed an intimate evening featuring a four-course meal with thoughtfully selected wine pairings while hearing inspiring stories that highlighted the heart of our mission and the impact of the George S. Lee Scholarship Fund.
One of the most touching moments of the evening was hearing from caregiver John and his daughter Kai, one of our incredible Participants. Their story served as a powerful reminder of the importance of creating opportunities, friendships, and experiences for individuals with special needs in our community.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who attended, supported, and helped make the evening possible, including our generous sponsors:
✨ Presenting Sponsor: Kia of Daphne
✨ Gold Sponsors: Phelps Dunbar & Valerie Wooley Jackson
✨ Silver Sponsor: Urology Associates
We also extend a special thank you to Valerie Wooley Jackson, founder of the George S. Lee Scholarship Fund, created in honor of George Lee. Her generosity and heart continue to make a lasting impact on our Participants and their families.
Thank you for being part of such an exceptional evening and for supporting the mission of the Exceptional Foundation Gulf Coast.
