If you’ve attended a show at Baltimore’s legendary 8X10 Club in the last decade, chances are good you have encountered our friend Jodi. From working in the box office and behind the bar, to running the shows when the owners were out of town, to working with national acts like Cris Jacobs, Turkuaz, and Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Jodi has been a true “Jill of All Trades” at the club, and a fixture in the Baltimore music community. Working behind the scenes at festivals like The Ramble Festival, Charm City Bluegrass, Believe in Music, and the MoonRise Festival, artists and crew alike are always happy and grateful to see Jodi on site. Her energy and love for music are infectious and inspiring to us all.

Now, she needs our help (even if she won’t ask for it).

Jodi suffers from Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD), a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of numerous cysts in the kidneys. There is no cure for this disease, and while medication is available, Jodi’s condition is too far along for any meds to help. This extremely painful condition makes even the simplest tasks difficult, and Jodi’s ability to work is severely limited.

Jodi is the last living female from her mother’s side of the family; Her Mom, Aunt, Grandmother, and Great-Aunt have all passed away from this terrible, hereditary disease.

Now Jodi needs a kidney. We are determined to help her find one.

At the Widespread Hope Foundation believes in the transformative power of music. After being in a tragic car accident that took the life of a dear friend, The Widespread Hope Foundation was founded in 2017 by Tucker Lyons, with a mission is to spread hope through the universal language of music.

Understanding that music connects us all, transcending cultural, racial, gender, and age boundaries; it has the power to make the best days better, and help us overcome the toughest of times. Their goal is to enable as many people as possible to benefit from the sensation of music while spreading the love of our friends and family no longer with us.

Through our HOPE-in-Hands program, they provide musical instruments, equipment, and resources to Baltimore City Schools, helping to supply aspiring young musicians with the tools they need to excel and reach their musical goals.

Camp Possibilities is an overnight camp for children with type 1 diabetes between the ages of 8 and 17 who, due to the complexity of diabetes management, often do not get the chance to go to a summer camp.

At Camp Possibilities offers swimming, fishing, arts and crafts projects, basketball, field games, a nature walk, talent show, dance and other activities.

We hold dedicated diabetes education sessions at camp; and some of the most valuable educational opportunities come in the form of teachable moments which occur when the campers interact with our medical staff and their counselors during insulin administration and throughout the day.
