Homewood, AL — August 10, 2025
When Urban Air Adventure Park in Homewood, AL marked its 9th birthday, the celebration went far beyond confetti, laughter, and thrilling indoor adventure attractions. This year, the party was about more than just adventure, it was about making an impact in the local community.
In partnership with the Unleashed Brands Foundation, the Urban Air Homewood team hosted a heartwarming teddy bear stuffing event. Guests joined in to help create dozens of cuddly bears, each wearing its own Urban Air T-shirt, destined for children receiving care at a local children’s hospital. The goal? To bring a little comfort, joy, and hope to kids who need it most.
Carrying the Heart of the Unleashed Brands Foundation
Franchisee Glynda Duncan has always believed that Urban Air is more than a place for active play, it’s a hub for connection, kindness, and community service. Since opening her doors, she has embraced the mission of the Unleashed Brands Foundation: Empowering at-risk youth to unleash their full potential, not only through fun and adventure, but through tangible acts of compassion.
Her commitment was on full display during the anniversary weekend. Between the music, confetti blasts, and high-energy fun, Glynda and her team focused on a deeper purpose, sending love from their park floor to hospital rooms across the city.
A Celebration with Purpose
The Homewood Urban Air birthday bash was filled with unforgettable moments:
- Confetti showers that had kids dancing, jumping, and smiling ear-to-ear.
- Families working side-by-side to stuff teddy bears, knowing each one would brighten a hospital stay.
- Team members rallying together to celebrate not just the park’s milestone, but its mission.
The atmosphere was pure joy but also deeply meaningful. For many children facing medical challenges, a small gesture like a teddy bear can be a big reminder that they are seen, cared for, and loved.
