SUMMARY: Hoover’s Heroes featured “The Birthday Fairy,” a compassionate volunteer who brings joy to children in need by organizing birthday celebrations for students in Title One schools across Lauderdale and Colbert counties. Starting with one classroom, the project now supports every kindergarten to 6th-grade special needs class, celebrating over 1,000 children in four years with help from 1,500 volunteers, including UNA baseball players. The initiative emphasizes the importance of making each child feel special and valued. For those interested in supporting or nominating local heroes, more information is available at birthdayfairy.org and WHNT.com under Hoover’s Heroes.

This week’s Hoover’s Hero is kind, compassionate, and magical – she is the Birthday Fairy.
