Timika Thrasher, CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Frederick County, said, "Last year, our inaugural Battle raised $14,000.00. These funds helped make a direct and positive impact on our Summer 2023 program. Thanks to events like the Battle of the Bands and the generosity of our supporters and attendees, almost 100 kids were able to participate fully in a summer of fun and learning. This year, we are working to expand this funding to help as many kids as we can to thrive and grow. We want to ensure all Frederick kids get to engage with a diverse group of peers from the Frederick County community."
Thrasher added. "The Boys & Girls Club of Frederick County is funded primarily by local community members and organizations. The proceeds from the Battle of the Bands and our other local fund-raising events are crucial to support the Summer Camp and other Club programming. Part of our mission is to provide support to families that need additional assistance to ensure their children have a safe, supportive, uplifting, and inclusive space over the summer and all year long. The Battle of the Bands is a big part of realizing these goals."
"Last year's Battle of the Bands was a big success for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Frederick County," said "Battle" producer Jarad Bowens of Benefactor Events. "The 2024 Battle of the Bands - presented by the Goddess Group of Everything, Frederick & Maurer Realty, and M&T Bank - is looking to build on last year's outcomes to serve Frederick's kids and raise real dollars to help build on the Club's top-notch programs."
