  The Turntable Fund, Inc. in Harford County, MD, aims to support musicians facing financial challenges when their live performances are disrupted. For many artists, live gigs are their primary source of income, making it crucial for them to have a safety net in times of need. The fund steps in when musicians are unable to work due to unforeseen circumstances such as illness, injury, or sudden show cancellations by venues.

  By providing temporary financial assistance on a show by show basis, The Turntable Fund helps bridge the gap for performers, ensuring they can continue pursuing their passion without the fear of financial instability. This support is made possible through contributions from supporters and fans who understand the importance of sustaining the local music community. By coming together, individuals can make a tangible difference in the lives of these talented artists, helping to keep the regional music scene vibrant and thriving.

  Through the collective effort of the community, The Turntable Fund strives to make a meaningful impact by offering relief to musicians during challenging times. By extending a helping hand, this initiative not only assists artists in need but also fosters a sense of solidarity and support within the music industry. Your contribution, no matter how small, can play a significant role in ensuring that musicians in Harford County and beyond can continue sharing their gifts with the world.

  Welcome to the 12th annual Catch-A-Pig (CAP) 5K – this is a great opportunity to have a unique race experience AND support The Boys & Girls Club of Harford County!

  The race is an out-and-back along the MA & PA Trail. 1K Bacon Stroll walkers are invited to join in the fun!

  The kicker: THIS IS A CHASE! We’ll have young runners dressed in pink pig shirts (a.k.a. "the piglets"). They will have a three minutes head start on the adult runners. Those who pass at least one of the piglets before crossing the finish line get their name into a special drawing for prizes. BUT LOOK OUT! There are also a few BIG, BAD WOLVES who will get a late (seven minute) jump on you. If they all pass you, you'll lose the opportunity for the special drawing

  All proceeds after costs will go to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Harford and Cecil Counties.

  IF YOU ARE UNDER 13 AND WANT TO BE ONE OF OUR PIGLETS: We are accepting runners under the age of 13 to take off first. These young ones get a FREE pig t-shirt.

  Bring your pup! Sign him/her up to join you (sign them up under the dog option). Dogs must be registered (just $10) and on a leash.
