CSG Raises Most Money in Battle of Bands Benefit

The results are in! The Community Services Group has won the fundraising trophy for collecting the most money for the March of Dimes during the Battle of the Bands campaign.

The small but mighty group raised $1,277 for the non-profit, which funds research and programs and works to end premature birth, birth defects and infant mortality. 

Along with the four other groups, the County collected $3,280 for the cause. The event was part of the County’s year-long goal of raising $80,000 for the local chapter. You can still give by contacting your group staff officer: CSG – Janice Downs, FG3 – Carl Smith, HHSA – Christi Knight, LUEG – Conor McGee, and PSG – Marc Regier.

In case you missed it, the rocking event had a second champion. Land Use & Environment Group’s band won the best performance trophy by applause when the competitors took the stage at the County Operations Center on Nov. 20. The group was represented by Steal Dawn, which has two County employees—Admin Analysts Jerry Schoen, from Parks and Recreation, and Phil Varela, from HHSA. They performed Walk the Moon’s “Shut Up and Dance” and in the final round a mashup of Flo Rida, Tone-Loc and Sir Mix-A-Lot.
