OWINGS MILLS LASER TAG DONATES 100% OF SALES TO ULMAN CANCER FUND FOR YOUNG ADULTS
BALTIMORE, Maryland – January 8, 2015 – After the holiday season, many nonprofit organizations find it difficult to raise money. XP LaserSport in Owings Mills plans to keep the giving going for one local nonprofit by donating 100% of their laser tag sales to Ulman Cancer Fund for Young Adults (UCF) on every remaining Friday in January (1/9, 1/16, 1/23 & 1/30).
UCF is a popular Baltimore area nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting young adult cancer patients and survivors.
“Lots of businesses do charity fundraisers. We wanted to do something big. Giving up our sales on Friday is the biggest thing we could do,” said XP Managing Partner Marc Mueller. “If this catches on, we may do it every year.”
“The UCF is honored to partner with XP Laser and the Friday Night Fight Club benefitting UCF”, says Brock Yetso, UCF’s President and CEO. “UCF raises awareness by creating opportunities and platforms for people and communities to get active in the fight against cancer. We feel this is a great opportunity for Baltimore and surrounding communities to come together to have fun while supporting and raising awareness about the young adult cancer fight.”
XP LaserSport hopes to donate $10,000 to UCF. The facility located at 12400-B Owings Mills Blvd Reisterstown, MD 21136 will be open from 3:00 pm until 11:00 pm each Friday in January for the Laser Tag Friday Night Fight Club for UCF.
