Another wonderful evening in person and virtually. This year’s Benefit Concert and silent auction was a great success. Thank you to all of our supporters. Our special guest this year was the amazing Isaac Parham and Friends. For those of you that have been with us from the beginning, you know that Isaac started this journey with us to help provide funding for Tyrone’s college education. We were so excited to have him back with us this year. Tyrone joined the band in the second half and ending the concert with “Don’t Stop Believin”. A Special Thank You to Nothing Bundt Cakes, Owings Mills for the delicious Bundtini cakes and to Peace and Blessings Florist for the simply beautiful flower arrangements. With your continued support, we were able to provide scholarships totaling $6,000 to six outstanding scholars. This brings our total to date to $25,500 in scholarships to students of single parent households. We cannot say THANK YOU enough!!
