 Scholars practicing with Bernadette Bascom

Dear Friends and Supporters of Boys Hope Girls Hope,


This year we have been blessed with an extraordinary opportunity from the performing arts community that has enriched our scholars.Baltimore native and national recording artist Bernadette Bascom founded the The Music Project Foundation ,an organization which helps underserved school children build confidence through "Major Production Level" music performances.Through this foundation our scholars have had the opportunity to work with professionals from the performing arts to produce "The Premiere Event : A Motown Evening" to be held  on Thursday  October 13th at  7PM at  Goucher College's Kraushaar auditorium. In addition to our scholars, this event will feature performances by Bernadette Bascom (click here for her impressive bio) , Theo Peoples  of the  Temptations and  American Idol finalist Sanjaya Malakar. If you haven't purchased  your tickets for this event there is still time to do so. Tickets are $35 per person and all proceeds from this event will benefit the youth of Boys Hope Girls Hope of Baltimore.Just click here to purchase your tickets. Ticketed guests who attend this event will also receive access to a silent auction, which includes Baltimore Ravens and Baltimore Orioles autographed memorabilia and game tickets. We hope you will join us for this exciting evening for our organization. 

 

Our organization has just produced a new video describing the Baltimore Boys Hope Girls Hope program. Please click here to view this video.

 

Your generous support  benefits our scholars in so many ways and we thank you for it.
