Parade name changes, commitment to Children's Hospital stays the same

A colorful 33-year-old Jackson tradition has a Hal of a new name.

Mal's St. Paddy's Parade is changing its name to Hal's St. Paddy's Parade & Festival in memory of Hal White, brother of parade founder Malcolm White and half of team that opened the well-loved Jackson restaurant and venue Hal & Mal's.

The parade is set for March 19 in downtown Jackson. A supporter of Batson Children's Hospital for decades, the event raised more than $25,000 for the hospital in 2015, a year when a downpour threatened to dampen the fun.

Fox-trot the night away at A Roaring ‘20s Affluent Affair

Channel your inner flapper, and brush up on the Charleston and the shimmy.

The UMMC Alliance will travel back in time with Medical Center supporters, both on campus and in the community, when it hosts A Roaring 20s Affluent Affair, a fundraiser to support patient needs and hospital beautification.

Leaders of the nonprofit Alliance decided to take their signature fundraising event in a new direction following last year's Taste, which had run its course but treated the UMMC family to an annual display of diverse cuisine cooked up by employees complemented by vibrant costumes and decorated booths.

A Roaring 20s Affluent Affair promises just as much revelry, but in a different format, said Vickie Skinner, president-elect of the Alliance and a project manager in the Office of Faculty Affairs.
