You're invited to The Arc Maryland’s 6th Annual SpArc Tank “Ig-Nite!” This festive event will take place on the evening of November 20th, located in the Ten Oaks Ballroom in Clarksville, MD, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

Starting with a toast to honor The Arc Maryland’s 65 years of service to the community, we will then hear from 2024 recipients of SpArc Tank funding who will take center stage, sharing their successful project outcomes and ways they are making a difference in the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. After a short break to refresh on snacks and drinks, and bid on the silent auction, the 2025 “SpArc Tank” competition begins: project proposals selected meticulously from our first round application pool will pitch their winning ideas to a voting audience for the chance for live funding awards to ignite change in 2025-2026.

You won’t want to miss this! Tasty hors d’oeuvres, craft cocktails from our open bar, an incredible silent auction and wine pull, networking, and Change-Making: What could be better than this?

Dress code for the evening is semi-formal/party attire.
