Hundreds attend San Mar Bull Roast

bullroastauction

The impressive sight of more than 3,100 luminaries lighting the evening sky, combined with great food and pleasant fall weather combined to give nearly hundreds of participants an October evening to remember.

Nearly 400 people attended San Mar’s Bull October 22 Roast and Open House.  Back on San Mar’s special events schedule after an absence of several years, the event combined the best of fall festivals with the opportunity to tour San Mar’s group homes on its campus near Boonsboro.

Sponsors and underwriters for the event included the Cumberland Valley Cycling Club, M&T Bank, Cynthia Moler/Coldwell Banker, Citi, The Columbia Bank—Hagerstown Trust Division, Best Buy, Keller Stonebraker, Florence H. Graff and the Covenant Seekers.

Adding to the excitement and enjoyment of the evening was the venerable media personality Lou Scally as the emcee.    

The event included guided tours of The Jack E. Barr Therapeutic Group Home, The Dr. Henry & Florence Hill Graff Shelter, The Anna K. Findlay Large Group Home and Treatment Foster Care Program, The Edward and Pauline Anderson Transitional Living Home, and the Administration Building, which houses historical photos and artifacts from San Mar’s 126-year history.

Volunteers helping with the luminaries on the 22nd included Susan, Peterson and children Courtney,  Jamie, Kayla, and Leah, Emma Moss, Rachel Herrera, Lauren Bowyer, Lindsey Gish, Andrew Moynihan, Ryan Doyle, Diane Sanford, Kendra Byard, Mary Heizer, Debbie Moser, Sue Goller, Tina Snook and Sandy Reeder.

The luminary project started with some 20 First Data employees working to prepare the bags in early October as part of their United Way at Work Day.  Those volunteers included Charles Horst, Eric Shropshire, Christina Rook, Laura Miller, Sherri Fritts, Kristen Lewis, Laura Zegar, Casey Hickman, Becky Hickman, Mike Blair, Brad Roach, Roxanne Coffman, Murray Wibberley, Dina Baker, Heather Hastings and Tiffany Shindledecker.

San Mar’s four group home programs serve at-risk adolescent girls, ages 13 to 18. Its Treatment Foster Care program serves girls and boys, from birth to age 18.
