Old Fat Bald Guys’ silent auction and hockey tournament to benefit Platoon 22 charity

Our friends at the Old Fat Bald Guys hockey club of Frederick are holding a charity tournament in July, and I’d like to tell you about it. The 17th annual OFBG summer tournament will be held at Skate Frederick starting on Friday, July 14. They’ll be holding a silent auction on Saturday, July 15 to raise money for Platoon 22, a local charity that raises awareness about the suicide epidemic among service members.

The silent auction will include a bunch of cool memorabilia plus ticket packages for the Caps, Hershey Bears, and NCAA hockey.

With no Caps dog calendar, Homeward Trails needs your help (plus eight great adoptable pups)

The Capitals have not put out a canine calendar for 2021. Their previous pup-laden stocking stuffers had traditionally been a big deal for regional animal rescue Homeward Trails. Last year’s calendar raised 100,00 dollars for the non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.

Missing that big pile of cash will make an already-tough year even tougher for the good people and pups and kittens of HT. We at RMNB have made a small donation to help fill the gap, but they’ll need more than petty blogger cash.

So here are some ways to support a good organization — plus eight great adoptable pups that might be the perfect addition to your home.
