Birmingham Network Cleans Up at Charity Tailgate Challenge

The Birmingham Texas Exes Network took top honors last month in the Bell Center's Tailgate Challenge. The Bell Center is a Birmingham non-profit that cares for children with special needs, and the center's founding director, Betty Bell, is a Life Member.

Members of the network built a 10-foot Tower replica, cooked up Texas chili and queso, and decked out their tent in burnt orange to win "Most Team Spirit" at the fundraising event. "We enjoy representing Texas in the heart of SEC country," says member Amber Salter.
