Pasadena: Jazzercise and Bull Roast All for a Cure

By AMANDA JEROSIMICH For the Maryland Gazette

They call themselves “Milk Money.”

The group of 20 women, mostly from Pasadena, have one goal in mind: to raise the $2,200 each requires to participate in the three- day, 60-mile walk benefiting the Susan B. Komen for the Cure and National Philanthropic Trust on Oct. 3 through 5 in Washington, D.C.

To achieve this goal, they will be holding several fundraisers in the upcoming weeks.

“Jazzercise for the Cure” at 4:30, 6:30 or 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Magothy United Methodist Church, 3703 Mountain Road. There is $10 donation fee required to attend each class.

The group will hold a bull and shrimp feast from 1 to 6 p.m. Sept. 27 at Michael’s Eight Avenue, 7220 Grayburn Drive, Glen Burnie.

Tickets are $45. The event will include food, games, raffles, auctions and a band.
