OM’s 8th Annual Boo-Bee Spelling Bee and Costume Contest fundraiser was pure Halloween joy 🎃🐝 We consider The Boo-Bee to be one of our most important events, and we hold it in recognition of October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month and to raise funds for breast cancer patients at the University of Maryland Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center 🏥 OM truly has the BEST guests and supporters, and their presence made us feel like winners all night 🥰

However, there are actual Boo-Bee winners! We are thrilled to announce Ricah Fakemi Norman as the 8th Annual Boo-Bee Spelling Bee winner! Ricah is our lovely neighbor on Glyndon Ave, over here on the west end of Pigtown 🙌 She triumphed through several rounds of progressively challenging words to pull off the night’s victory! Also, ♡ Mackenzie Pallante ♡ won best costume—she dazzled as Marie Antoinette! Congratulations to both of them 🥇🏆👏

Thank you to all guests and attendees for giving us a festive, feel-good night and supporting an event that matters to us 🙏 Whether you came for The Boo-Bee, wandered in for drinks or dinner, or got us to turn on the WNBA championship game 🏀, we had a blast with you ♥️

🎀 The sad reality is that we all likely know someone who has been diagnosed with breast cancer 👉 If you would like to learn more about the UMD Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center and perhaps make a donation of your own, visit https://tinyurl.com/4akj2427 🎀

August 31 is the international observance of Overdose Awareness Day. From 2023-2025, the number of overdose deaths in Baltimore City decreased more than 40 percent. That is a significant and very encouraging reduction. However, we recognize that the continued overdose crisis in the City requires a sustained, multi-pronged and collaborative response.

Today, we want to recognize two of Baltimore’s leading organizations that are on the front lines of harm reduction work: Pigtown’s SPARC Center, and East Baltimore’s Charm City Care Connection.

Last Friday, OM had the great privilege of hosting a happy hour for SPARC and CCCC after both organizations performed fieldwork in Southwest Baltimore. We not only appreciate their support of OM, but we are profoundly thankful for their service to our community. Their commitment, dedication and advocacy are saving lives throughout the city and giving hope to individuals struggling with addiction.

We encourage you to read more about each organization (links in our bio) to learn how you can volunteer or support their respective missions.

To all of the other individuals and organizations also engaged and working in the fight to prevent overdose-related deaths in the City, we commend and salute you.

And to those in recovery, we applaud your courage and wish you continued healing ♥️
