Unified Community Connections, a nonprofit agency supporting people with disabilities, will hold its concert fundraiser, Hoodstock XIX, featuring live music from the ’60 and ’70s, dinner, dancing, raffles and an online silent auction.
When: Friday, Nov. 18, from 7 to 11 p.m.
Where:
The Winslow
333 W. Ostend St.
Baltimore
Free on-site parking available
Roses n Rust will headline Hoodstock and cover both classic and modern artists from the ’60s, ’70s and today. In addition, local celebrity O.J. Brigance, senior advisor for player development for the Baltimore Ravens and former Unified Community Connections board member, will present this year’s Samuel A. Tucker Memorial Can Do Award.
“Hoodstock is the laid-back concert fundraiser where guests just say no to black-tie and yes to tie-dye,” said Amy Kreitz, president and CEO of Unified Community Connections. “Dig out those bell-bottoms or come as you are to rock out at The Winslow in support of a great cause.”
Hoodstock started in 2004 as a neighborhood event and has since grown into a major fundraiser benefiting Unified Community Connections in supporting people with disabilities. Last year’s event raised $84,000.
Tickets are $45 in advance and $50 the day of the event. For more information, visit Unified.org/hoodstock or Facebook.com/hoodstock or contact Lauren Bussard at lbussard@unified.org or 443-449-2461.
