What’s Provided: Live music from the ‘60s and ‘70s, food, drinks, dancing, spectacular views of the Inner Harbor, opportunity to tour a few of the museum’s exhibits, raffles, and an online silent auction.
Local band, Roses n Rust, will headline Hoodstock and cover both classic and modern artists from the ‘60s, ‘70s and today. In addition to the Wafflers and many other familiar faces.
A highlight of the evening will be the presentation of the Samuel A. Tucker Memorial Can Do Award to recognize an individual who receives supports from Unified. O.J. Brigance, senior advisor for player development for the Baltimore Ravens and former Unified Community Connections board member, will present the award.
“Hoodstock is the laidback 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 Baltimore Museum of Industry in support of a great cause.”
Last year’s Hoodstock raised more than $106,000 to benefit Unified Community Connections and the work they do to help people with disabilities live as independently as possible.
Tickets are $50 in advance and $55 the day of the event. For more information, visit www.unified.org/hoodstock or www.facebook.com/hoodstock or contact Lauren Bussard at lbussard@unified.org or 443-449-2461.
