TWIST: The Successful GLCCB Fundraiser is Back!
With the many programs and services provided to
the local community through the Gay and Lesbian
Community Center of Baltimore, continued funding
and financial support is always a critical issue when
planning the year ahead. Fortunately the center is
hoping to repeat and even surpass the success of
last year with its second annual fundraiser, TWIST!
The event, which is to be held at the Hippo bar and
dance club on Thursday, March 16th will include a
variety show and silent auction, and promises to be a
fun night for all. The variety show will include many
local talents including a comedian, a bevy of
titleholders and Baltimore's own Tia Chambers who
will be appearing for her second year at the event.
All of the performers will be donating their time and
talents in support of the GLCCB. The silent auction
will contain a wide variety of items such as
collectibles, gift cards to restaurants and stores,
baskets of cheer, hotel stays, and even a two night
stay in Napa! Additional fun surprise items will also
be on the block, so there should definitely be
something for everyone.
The usual four-dollar entrance fee for Thursdays at
the Hippo will get you inside, however everyone will
receive four drink chips, so in essence entrance is
free. Proceeds from the fundraiser will go to the
GLCCB where they will be used to fund the center's
programs and services. Event organizer, Mr. Michael
Zito, takes great pride in TWIST and hopes that it
will once again be an amazing success. He reminds
people to "bring their checkbooks and plastic" and
not to "hesitate to shop at the Hippo"! Come out to
support your local GLCCB and enjoy an exciting night
at TWIST!
