Who benefits from the fundraiser?

No More Dirty, Inc., a Huntsville-based nonprofit, has directed funds toward youth development since 2018. What the numbers don't tell you? Their mentorship network now includes 47 volunteers across five city schools. Last year's event raised over $32,000, and organizers are pushing for $50,000 this time.

From what we're hearing locally, some students supported by the program have gone on to college with full rides, something that hits home in neighborhoods like Jones Valley and Five Points where resources are tight.

Names aren't fully released, but WAAY-TV confirmed regional favorites like LaVar Burton (no relation) and Shellie Harville are set to perform. A surprise guest, rumored to be a Netflix-featured comic with Huntsville roots, is expected to close the show.

Check out No More Dirty, Inc., they're on Rocket Pass this month, so supporters can earn local rewards while giving back.

What's the vibe on the ground?

The vibe on the ground is more block party than formal fundraiser. Food trucks, face painting, and a DJ spinning 2000s R&B will keep the energy high before the show. It's the kind of event that reminds you why Huntsville's culture is more than tech and rockets.
