An amazing crowd of 200 cool cowboys and cowgirls gathered to eat, drink, and dance the night away on November 7th in support of Ozanam Charitable Pharmacy’s recent “Wild Wild West Fundraiser!” On a raining night, with a tornado having touched-down just blocks away from Ezell House, the party was in full swing. The incredible RuffWater Band filled the entire place with an eclectic variety of country, soft rock, jazz and R & B rhythms that pleased an enthusiastic crowd.. all decked out in their Wild West Best attire! The taco and chili bar with all of the trimmings was also a huge hit, as was the fun-filled photo booth. Raffle prize winners were thrilled with awesome gift baskets, the Apple iWatch and overnight stys at our best local hotels! We are excited for the opportunity to bring this exciting event back next year, with a few new surprises, so stay tuned!

The Ozanam Charitable Pharmacy office and grounds were blessed with an abundance of “TLC” on October 19, 2019. The incredible management and staff of Ingalls Shipbuilding chose Ozanam as the focus of their “Annual Day of Caring” community service program. The program is an opportunity for Ingalls Shipbuilding employees to give back to the Mobile County community. Over the course of a day, Ingalls employees complete various maintenance projects. Here at Ozanam Charitable Pharmacy (OCP), the Ingalls Shipbuilding staff pruned the small trees and shrubs surrounding the exterior of the building. They also vacuumed and shampooed the office carpeting, cleaned the office furniture and counters. Thanks to such a caring group of cheerful volunteers, OCP is looking “ship-shape” these days! Furthermore, OCP received an additional blessing, as Ingalls Shipbuilding President, Brian J. Cuccias, stopped by to present a donation check for $5,000.00, to Executive Director, Shearie Archer, to express the company’s appreciation and support for the services provided by OCP. The program also received news coverage from WKRG News 5. The fellowship we established during the activity didn’t stop that day…weeks later a few of the Annual Day of Caring participants attended Ozanam’s Wild Wild West Fundraiser! OCP welcomes opportunities to develop community partnerships.
