In addition to the normal fair festivities, patrons will also be supporting the United Cerebral Palsy of West Alabama with the event’s proceeds. United Cerebral Palsy of West Alabama is a non-profit organization dedicated to creating opportunities for people with disabilities.

“At UCPWA, we have an array of services we offer for people with disabilities. The proceeds we receive from the fair help to offset our costs of providing these services to people with disabilities,” Randy Mecredy, the director of development, told the Tuscaloosa News.

The state fair is the biggest fundraising event for United Cerebral Palsy of West Alabama.
