Birmingham native Michael Hemphill is bringing his television show BUZZ back to Alabama Public Television with six new episdoes exploring non-profits in the Birmingham area that are making a difference in the community.

Oct. 11 – Nurse-Family Partnership
A program of the UAB School of Nursing, Nurse-Family Partnership provides at-home nursing care for mostly first-time, low-income mothers during pregnancy through her child's first 2 years of life. BUZZ rewinds in time to feature the video marketing “buzz” provided by Red Clay Media’s “It’s A Southern Thing."

Oct. 18 –  United Ability
Each year United Ability provides innovative services connecting more than 5,500 people with disabilities to their communities and empowering individuals to live full and meaningful lives. New to BUZZ, Champ Creative provides some “buzz” for one of United Ability’s revenue-generating programs to help fund its mission.

Oct. 25 –  Small Magic
Small Magic helps our youngest children maximize their school readiness and future economic mobility through language development. Helping Small Magic reach more Hispanic families is a past star of BUZZ: Hispanic and Immigrant Center of Alabama!

Nov. 1 –   College Choice Foundation
College Choice Foundation offers resources and opportunities for motivated, high-achieving students from disadvantaged, under-resourced backgrounds to gain entrance into and attend college. They’re getting some video marketing buzz from a pilot project coordinated by the Alabama Association of Nonprofits!

Nov. 8  & 15 – 205   Alabama Association of Nonprofits’ "Micro-Film Grant Initiative”
In 2024, Alabama Association of Nonprofits  embarked on an exciting initiative — funded by the Fidelity Charitable Catalyst Fund — to help 10 Alabama nonprofits create and leverage new video marketing buzz. Over the course of this 2-part BUZZ, we feature the videographers who worked with the nonprofits to share their inspiring missions … and of course their videos!

Launched in 2020, BUZZ airs on public television in Virginia – and on YouTube – and features the great work that nonprofits do in our communities, and the marketing pros who donate their time and talent to help these life-giving organizations attract more donors, volunteers and clients to their cause. Episodes are available on demand at buzz4good.com/episodes.

“From arts and culture, homelessness, literacy, outdoors recreation, suicide prevention, intellectual disabilities, even college athletics, nonprofits make our communities stronger and richer,” says Hemphill, BUZZ creator and host. “I’m thrilled to be back home and feature the mission of these incredible nonprofits and provide them with more buzz.”

Produced in partnership with See-It Productions, these BUZZ episodes are made possible through generous grant support by The Daniel Foundation of Alabama and Joseph S. Bruno Charitable Foundation.
