Since stationing our headquarters in Birmingham, AL, in 2012, Coast to Coast Events has worked to support our surrounding community. As the team’s roots have deepened, so has our community reach. Coast to Coast is constantly looking for additional ways to support our local community and have supported Girl/Boy scouts, local churches, as well as national organizations. “We feel strongly that we should support such an amazing area, as they have supported us since we arrived! The best way to get to know the community is to get involved in the community.”
