With the beginning of October comes the official settling in of fall. This month promises to be full of colorful leaves, warm sweaters, pumpkin everything and, most importantly, Karma for Cara events.

Make sure to carve out some time to participate in one of our three events happening this October.

On Saturday, October 11, Bare Hills Raquet and Fitness Club is hosting the second annual Karma for Cara Spin-a-thon. The six-hour outdoor fundraiser runs from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Ride as an individual for $40 an hour or as part of a five to 10 person team for $30 per bike. Day-of registration is $50 per hour. All proceeds benefit Karma for Cara.

For more information or to sign up, contact Bare Hills at 410-823-2500. Pre-registration ends October 6.

Just a couple of days later on Monday, October 13, Karma for Cara will present the second Excellence in Nursing Award during the PRS Guitars One Night, One Show, One Cause fundraiser for the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Center. This year’s benefit features a performance by Santana. The award presentation will take place during the VIP Preparty.

Our week continues with a bone marrow drive in honor of Cara at Towson University on October 14. The Kappa Sigma fraternity is teaming up with nonprofit There Goes My Hero to host a bone marrow drive at the university from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. Please stop by Towson University at the Potomac Lounge in the University Union, 2nd Floor to get added to the bone marrow registry and show your support for Karma for Cara.

All joining the bone marrow registry takes is a quick swab of a cheek. If you’re between the ages of 18 and 55, please stop by Towson on October 14 and join the registry!

We’re excited for the busy month ahead of us and hope to see you at one or more of these events. As always, thank you for your continued support of Karma for Cara!
