Bowie Baysox Concession Fundraiser to start April 10
Yes, spring time is right around the corner and that means sunshine and baseball ! We will continue with the most profitable fundraiser for our Arundel Music Program as we partner with the Bowie Baysox baseball team for concession sales. For the last several years we have staffed the 3rd base concession stand for selected games (usually on weekends) and earned valuable $$$ for our program. Opening day for us is coming up on Saturday, April 10th. This is a great opportunity for students and parents to get to know each other better. For each student and family member or friend who volunteers to work at a game, they each earn $10 towards that student's participation fees for the coming school year. Work a few games and it really starts to add up, plus the group raises much needed funds for the overall program expenses. Please plan to attend Saturday, April 10 and check our Baysox page for all the dates for this season.
