5th Annual Flip Flop Festivus

The Life and Breath Foundation will present this resort casual fundraiser, which is regarded as “Baltimore’s Best Football Party and More!”

The evening kicks off with an exclusive VIP reception with past and present players from the Ravens and Orioles and media personalities. Invited guests – and past attendees – include Matt Stover, Qadry Ismail, Brad Jackson, Michael McCrary, Ed Mulitalo, Mike Flynn, Jonathan Ogden, Paul Blair, Chris Hoiles, Mike Bordick and Johnny Holliday. Mingle and pose for photos with these celebs, while enjoying sumptuous cuisine and cocktails from Neil Langermann, executive chef/partner in Langermann’s, the reception sponsor.

The main event will offer exquisite food, wine and cocktails from Royal Sonesta Executive Chef Josean Rosado and dancing to live music from The A-Town A-List, “the revolutionary party band,” whose members have shared stages with Bruce Springsteen, The Black-Eyed Peas, The Killers and Stevie Wonder. Guests also can enjoy raffles and an exciting live auction of highly sought-after sports and travel packages.

Event proceeds will directly benefit the groundbreaking research efforts of Johns Hopkins University Professor Dr. David Moller, whose team is on the cusp of creating a lead diagnostic test for Sarcoidosis, the world’s most common fibrotic lung disease.

Established in 1998, The Life and Breath Foundation is a 501(c) 3 organization dedicated to raising funds to improve patient care, improve communication between patients and physicians and fund research to find a cure for Sarcoidosis, which affects 1 in every 2,000 Americans. Since its inception, the Foundation has raised over $300,000 for Sarcoidosis research studies. Because of reduced NIH funding, Sarcoidosis research efforts require significant philanthropic support to move forward.
