BIRMINGHAM – It was a painting frenzy on Friday at Children’s Hospital of Alabama in Birmingham as Talladega Superspeedway brought some racetrack flair to the Magic City.
More than 15 kids grabbed their superhero-themed sponges and paintbrushes and made their mark on the track’s Kids VIP Experience presented by Children’s of Alabama stock car. The car, originally a white canvas when it arrived at the medical facility, was decked out by the time all was said and done with all sorts of colorful artwork ranging from free-handed artwork and signatures to hearts, stars and tread marks to complete the masterpiece.
“This is just such a fun Friday for the kids and an unexpected activity that they got to do,” said Caroline Wilson, Community Development Coordinator at Children’s of Alabama, a proud partner of the Kids VIP program at Talladega since 2018. “To know that during their stay in the hospital they got to be a part of something that is going to get to go out into the community, just brightens their day a little bit while they are here.”
