“The Benevolent Fund relies on the generosity of UAB employee contributions to fund the assistance we provide through the EEAP and Blazer Kitchen,” said Lisa Higginbotham, Benevolent Fund manager. “Contributions also support charities such as the American Red Cross, Salvation Army, Birmingham Hands On and United Way Disaster Fund, which are critical to providing immediate and long-term disaster relief.”
