“I am thrilled to once again have RGroup.org host this event,” Ted Hart, founder of RGroup, an online social network, told the Blade. “Over the past eight years we have raised tens of thousands of dollars for important local community charities. This year we have chosen Moveable Feast as our charity partner. One hundred percent of the auction will benefit their important community work. We thank our event partners: Lord Baltimore Hotel, Red Maple, Tattee Boy Clothing and MV Fitness.”
