From 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m., Baltimore area businesses are invited to compete against one another in a 16 team tournament to support Baltimore City Schools through Business Volunteers of Maryland’s PENCIL Program. Seated in iconic, award-winning Herman Miller Aeron chairs, competitors will partake in a single elimination game of hockey where the winner takes home bragging rights and a prize trophy while other participants qualify to win classic Herman Miller pieces.
“This event is an excellent opportunity to bring together the Baltimore business community and support the Business Volunteers of Maryland,” said American Office President David Kuntz. “The tournament will allow for some of Baltimore’s best to get out of the office, have a great time with co-workers, and support a great cause.”
