Everything to do with Ravens Roost 4
Post by: Scott Habicht
Last Saturday was another fun day for Ravens Roost #4 with many members coming out to Jilly’s for a sports trivia challenge. Â A good time was had by all while raising money for The Special Olympics.
Ravens Roost #4 is holding a Sports Trivia Challenge at 2:00pm on Saturday, February 9th up at Jilly’s to benefit Special Olympics Maryland. Cost is $10 per person – up to four people per trivia team. Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 teams. Contact Jeff “Frosty” Volmer to sign-up. C’mon out, continue the celebration of the Ravens winning Super Bowl, and test your sports knowledge!
Roost 4 members Candace & Jack Skurnik, Kim & Dennis Colhouer, Anna & Frosty Volmer, & Mitch Hooper were in Laurel this morning supporting the Laurel FOP and their Strikes 4 Special Olympics. All proceeds from the charity bowling event go towards the Deep Creek Dunk and SOMD.
The super plungers (plunging once an hour for 24 hours) made their 23rd hourly dip.  You need to raise $10,000 to be a super plunger.
Nothing like an “O” to let you know you are in the Baltimore area.
Go time!!! Â We all made a way into the water for the ice cold plunge!!!!
At the time of this post the Roost had raised $785. Â Check this page for more information or to make a donation:

This year the Ravens Roost adopted 7 families of three children each through the Salvation Army for our Pay It Forward effort. Seven team captains volunteered to take on the responsibility of raising $100.00 for food gift cards and presents (clothes and toys) for the families.  The Roost also donated an additional $700.00 dollars for food for Thanksgiving for those same families.
In addition Ravens Roost #4 donated toys to the Families Who Have been Affected by Domestic Violence. In that effort, Jack and Candace raffled off a Torrey Smith autographed jersey to buy clothes and toys. Jack and Candace also held a toy drive during the Roost’s annual Christmas party and bowling event to raise money for Special Olympics.
Candace was happy to report that her SUV was loaded to the ceiling with all of the generous gifts. Jack and Candace, as chair of this years effort, want to thank each of you for your kindness. It means so much for these families.
Ravens Roost #4 will hold its annual Cosmic Bowling Challenge to benefit Special Olympics Maryland from 8-11 AM on Sunday, December 9th, at the Normandy Brunswick Lanes on Route 40 in Ellicott City. Links to a flyer with more details and the registration form are below:
