BARC is proud to be the prin­ci­ple spon­sor of the 30th Annual For­est of Need­wood Road Race to be held on Sat­ur­day March 17th, 2012. This event is put on to honor the mem­ory of Jen­nifer Shafer Odem. Jen­nifer is a Brunswick High School and West Point grad­u­ate. She gave her life in the ser­vice of our coun­try while on a mis­sion in South Amer­ica in 1999.

The race raises funds in her name to sup­port a stu­dent / ath­lete schol­ar­ship fund to be given each year to four Brunswick grad­u­ates who have taken part in track and cross coun­try while attend­ing Brunswick High and mov­ing onto college.

The event is one of the old­est road races in the state of Mary­land and bring run­ners from the region to the Brunswick area to take part in this Grand Prix event with sup­port from The Fred­er­ick Steeple­chasers Run­ning Club. The event is open to all age groups with t-shirts, prizes and awards being offered.

For more infor­ma­tion, please call Lee Zum­bach at 301–834-8045 or go to ZUM50@Hotmail.com.

Freezin For A Reason 2011

Par­tic­i­pants Plunge Into the Potomac River

Why would any­one jump into freez­ing cold Potomac River water on New Years Day? The answer is sim­ple: To HELP OTHERS. On Sun­day, Jan­u­ary 1st, 2012, brave peo­ple will again take on the chal­lenge of plung­ing into water that if they are lucky, will be more than 37 degrees (last year’s tem­per­a­ture). The Freezin For a Rea­son Plunge money will help local char­i­ties that have a very seri­ous need this time of year.

As the par­tic­i­pants gath­ered on the boat ramp for pre-jump pic­tures, it is a party atmos­phere with all wish­ing each other good luck and Happy New Year. Many of the par­tic­i­pants wear fun cos­tumes like Cut­ter Hadley most out­ra­geous cos­tume last year dressed as a 6 foot 4 inch mer­maid includ­ing a tail!

Funds pledged to these brave peo­ple will be used to help the local BEACON orga­ni­za­tion, the Alan P. Lin­ton cold weather shel­ter in Fred­er­ick, and BARC.

BARC would like to express its thanks to the Brunswick Ambu­lance Crew who help make our event safe and to the City of Brunswick for allow­ing us to use the camp­ground. A spe­cial thanks to all who con­tributed in sup­port of those who entered the river. Many are going through some dif­fi­cult times dur­ing this win­ter and the funds raised will help the food bank, the emer­gency relief fund, and those with­out a warm shel­ter to call home. You can still donate to this cause by con­tact­ing a per­son listed in the arti­cle or call 301–834-8045 and set up a con­tri­bu­tion. No mat­ter how bad times may feel for you, remem­ber there are many in much worse shape who need help with their fam­i­lies and children.
