Local Howard University Alumni Club Annual Fundraiser Day At The Races

BALTIMORE - March 29, 2013 - PRLog -- The Howard University Alumni Club of Baltimore (HUACB), the oldest active alumni organization of the University, will sponsor its annual Day at the Races scholarship fundraiser Saturday, April 27, 2013, at noon in the exclusive Jockey Club, Pimlico Race Track, Baltimore, Maryland. Billed as the club’s signature fundraiser, Day at the Races helps fund the Mamie Carroll Woodford Endowed Scholarship, which provides financial assistance to undergraduate students who hail from the Baltimore metropolitan area. The scholarship is named in honor of the late Mamie Carroll Woodford, a 1932 graduate of the University and past president of the club.

Attracting participants from as far north as New York and as far south as North Carolina and Georgia, the event promises to be a day of fellowship and fun with friends and families. Those attending will have the opportunity to enjoy a delicious lunch buffet, place bets on their favorite horses, tour the facility, take a photo with the winning jockey of the club’s featured race, and compete in the fanciest hat contest for women. The event will also feature a cash bar and a silent auction.
