Why: 325,000 children are at risk for becoming victims of sexual exploitation just in the United States. O.U.R. works to rescue children trapped in sex slavery and spread awareness to lower the number exploited each year. Child sex trafficking is a difficult subject, but starting the conversation and raising money to help O.U.R. is just one way to make that conversation a little easier!

Operation Underground Railroad
Right now, it’s estimated that there are 2 million children worldwide involved some way in sex trafficking and slavery. Every 30 seconds a child is sold into sex slavery. Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.) is a non-profit organization comprised of highly skilled ex- Navy Seals, CIA and Special Ops operatives that goes to the darkest corners of the world to help local law enforcement liberate child sex slaves and dismantle criminal networks. In the past celebrities such as MLB’s Adam Lorache and Walking Dead actress Laurie Holden have been a part of rescue missions as ambassadors for O.U.R. Since it’s start in 2013, O.U.R’s work has gained international media coverage on CBS Evening News, ABC Nightly News, Fox News Sunday, Foreign Policy, and The Blaze among others, and recently a documentary was done on them called The Abolitionists.

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
