​This year’s “Soaring to New Heights” Gala will honor Larry Sells, affectionately known as “Mr. Mayor of Severna Park”. 

Larry and his wife Robin live in Shipley’s Choice and raised their 5 children there, actively volunteering in many of the area’s philanthropic, civic and youth organizations.  You will recognize Larry’s voice as the P.A. announcer for Severna Park High School home football, baseball and some basketball games, as well as the Baltimore Touchdown Club’s annual showcase game featuring senior athletes from around the state.  Larry is past president of the Severna Park Falcon Athletic Boosters and was elected to the Severna Park Athletic Hall of Fame in 2012.  

Larry’s commitment to the community is showcased with his leadership and involvement in the Severna Park Community Center, Greater Severna Park Athletic Association (Green Hornets,) Pasadena Business Association, Severna Park and Arnold Chamber of Commerce “Shop Local.”  As the COO and Vice President of Sales and Development at The Voice Media, Inc., the publisher of the Severna Park Voice and Pasadena Voice, Larry is constantly shaking hands and making friends in our community. For his dedication to community and willingness to serve, Larry is the ideal honoree for this year’s gala.

If you haven't already seen it, check out this great Facebook live stream video of Larry talking about the Center's importance with Board Chair, David Orso!  Thank you, Larry, for all your service and support of the Severna Park Community Center.

We are so grateful to Paper in the Park, who has done the gala invitations for many years.  The creativity of Kassy, Susie and their crew never ceases to amaze us.  They are a local treasure. Thank you! 
​
​We LOVE the artwork and invitations to this year's Gala, and are excited to get them out in the mail to our longtime supporters, benefactors and friends of the center.

BUT! If you just can't wait to receive yours, please buy your tickets (or tables!) today right here on our website.  You do not need an invitation to join us for this special night.  

We can't wait to welcome you to a wonderful night of drinks, dinner and dancing at Chartwell, just 2 months from now.  See you then, Severna Park!
