All That Jazz! Highlights from Gala 2025
Each year, the Severna Park Community Center hosts an annual fundraising gala, to honor a local community hero, and to raise much-needed funds for the center’s annual operations. Fees for services and rentals only cover about 75% of the cost of running this facility – the rest comes from fundraising programs, such as our annual gala.
We have been fortunate to honor some incredible local community heroes.
