Fundraising Dinner and Silent Auction

Mark your calendars for Saturday, May 18th, as the Bladensburg Community Center hosts a Fundraising Dinner and Silent Auction starting at 5 pm and going until dusk.

Everyone is invited to our Fundraising Dinner and Silent Auction in support of needed renovations to the old gym at the Bladensburg Community Center.  The silent auction includes dinner gift cards, many gift baskets, gift certificates to fine stores, hand made items, rare pieces, pottery, hand made wreaths, hand made cutting boards, hand painted fishing lures, etc. Something for just about everyone’s interests and tastes!

 Date: May 18, 2024
 Time: 5 pm til dusk
 Location: Bladensburg Community Center, 25821 New Guilford Road, Bladensburg

Indulge in a full, delicious cookout dinner, bid on exclusive auction items, and enjoy family fun games of basketball, cornhole and pickle ball, all while supporting a meaningful cause. Your generosity will help the Bladensburg Community Heritage Foundation fully renovate the 60 plus year old gym, with a new sport court floor and other needed upgrades!

Please consider coming out this weekend to support our fundraiser for the Bladensburg Community Center. We are looking to raise funds to fully restore the old gym. We are already well on our way to our goal of raising $60,000 towards the needed renovations! Our gym has provided a home for school aged basketball and baseball teams to practice, hosted the Knox County Special Olympics for the last two years (giving these wonderful athletes a place to compete and show off their skills), provided the space for baton twirlers to practice and compete, provided a spot for community activities and gatherings, and allowed families to have space for family fun time.  But the gym desperately needs renovation.  We want to continue to provide a place in our community for our kids, adults, and seniors to have a safe and inviting place to practice, play and develop physical activities.

 Let’s come together for a night of dinner, family fun and community giving and help create a lasting impact !  Your support will make a real difference in the lives of those we serve. Working together, we can all make a difference for generations to come.
