Bowl-a-Rama 2!
NDC's volunteers, staff, and friends are working hard improving local neighborhoods - now it's time for them to play hard - and raise money for a great organization! On September 23 we are holding "Bowl-a-Rama 2", a bowling fundraiser to support the design and planning services that we provide to communities throughout Baltimore and Prince George's County.
To make a donation, go to the bottom of the page or visit www.firstgiving.com/ndcmd/ndc-bowl-a-rama-2 and look for your favorite bowler or team.
Last year, we had 37 bowlers and nearly 140 donors who helped us raise $7,000. This year we have twice the lanes and are trying to raise $10,000 - we hope that you can help!
In particular, we want to thank Nicole Lacoste Folks and Harriett Roberts Harvey, who were co-chairs for last year's event, and Cyclops Books for donating two of our bowling prizes.
