Back On My Feet

(BALTIMORE - November 16, 2009) - As Loyola University Maryland seniors, we have recognized the seriousness of Baltimore’s homeless situation and, as a result, we are assisting Back on My Feet's (BOMF) newly-established Baltimore chapter. As representatives for BOMF, we would like to invite you to a Dance the Night Away Bash, a charitable event in which attendees are encouraged to pair cocktail attire with their favorite pair of sneakers, on Thursday, Dec. 10, from 6:30 – 10:30 pm at the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall, 1212 Cathedral St., Baltimore, Md., 21201.

BOMF is a non-profit organization working to help give the homeless a more structured lifestyle through running. The organization promotes the self-sufficiency of the homeless population by engaging them in running as a means to build confidence, strength, and self-esteem. BOMF does not provide food nor does it provide shelter – but, instead, a community that embraces equality, respect, discipline, teamwork, and leadership.
The Bash will feature the band, Not Collidge Material(oldies/rock); dinner; complimentary beer and wine; as well as an address by BOMF Founder and President Anne Mahlum.
Tickets are $100 per person, or $60 for students. Tickets may be purchased online or via check with attendee names sent to: Back on My Feet Baltimore Bash, 1520 Locust St., Suite 804, Philadelphia, PA 19102. For corporate sponsorship packages, contact Lauren@backonmeyfeet.org.
If you are unable to attend, but share our desire to help the homeless, additional ways to get involved or contribute include:
