The Potomac Playmakers participated the 2018 Washington County Gives fundraiser. The fundraiser allows Community Non-profit Organizations to receive matching funds for donations pledged during the event. The Playmakers raised $2,400 in donations. We also received a generous $1,000 grant from the Hershey Family Foundation. With matching funds, Potomac Playmakers should receive over $3,700 from the event. A big thank you to the Community Foundation of Washington County, all of the sponsors, and all of the donors. Your support is greatly appreciated.
