Several spring and summer events have helped raise thousands of dollars for the construction of a Crofton Regional Community Center and skate park.
Among the fund-raising events that occurred in June and July 2010 were
- Exhibitions at the Bowie Skate Park
- A Bowie Baysox game
- A "Cut-a-Thon" at the Hair Experience salon
- A guest bartender night at Krazy Otto's Saloon
- A dinner at Italian Market
The dinner followed a memorial event in honor of Christopher Jones, the Crofton teenager who was killed in May 2009. At the event, his parents donated $7,000--the largest single sum yet--to CRCC.
Jennifer Adkins, Christopher's mother, also threw the first pitch at the Baysox game, which raised hundreds of dollars from ticket sales proceeds. And she raised more than $900 for CRCC as a guest bartender.
Upcoming fund-raisers include
- a bull roast at the Elks club on July 31
- a fund-raiser at Rita's on July 28
