Bark Breakfast

6th Annual Arts Alive!

Hospice Cup XXIII

Bark Breakfast

75 pet people and 50 dogs raised over $3,500 for the SPCA of Anne Arundel County at the "Bark Breakfast" fundraiser hosted by Loews Annapolis Hotel on June 18. Canine guests dined on veterinarian-approved specialties made by Chef Brad Buss and viewed a fashion show hosted by Big Dog Sportswear. Their owners went home with a fully stocked Bark Briefcase as a memento.

6th Annual Arts Alive!

Nearly 500 people celebrated and supported the arts on Friday, September 10th at Maryland Hall's 6th annual Arts Alive. The tented gala grossed more than $120,000 for Maryland Hall's education programs and renovations to the Hall's 72 year-old-Georgian-style building. Live and silent auctions and a wine raffle featured an array of prizes including trips to Ireland and Jackson Hole, Wyoming, jewelry, antiques, art, and tickets for sports and entertainment.
