Lots of folks have been asking how they can help out hospital workers – here’s a great, delicious way from Wiseguy’s GoFundMe:
“Wiseguy Pizza x Altani for Healthcare Workers
Making food is how we show our love, and we’ve fought this pandemic the best way we know how to–by helping to feed the people on the front lines. We were able to donate 101 18” pizzas (feeding 400+ people), 800 masks, and 7400 gloves in a single day to 6 area hospitals as well as other essential workers and those in need.
Then the calls started to roll into our store from people who wanted to help do the same. So we’re making a formal ask for you to contribute to helping us keep area healthcare workers fed and provided with a much-needed bit of cheer.
OUR PLAN
Wiseguy Pizza is going to deliver a mix of cheese and pepperoni pies to 6 area hospitals (listed below).
Our sister brand, Altani Gelato, will also be donating medium cups of gelato to healthcare workers. It’ll be served from our mobile gelato cart, stationed right outside each hospital on the day of pre-arranged delivery.
The donation will be a 1:1 match.
The pizzas are valued at $22 per (huge!) 18″ pizza, and a medium gelato is $5.50. With our match, you’re able to donate a full pizza (feeding 4) and a cup of gelato for just $13.75.
OUR GOAL
100 Pizzas + 100 Cups of Gelato, per hospital. That’s 600 pizzas (feeding 2400) and 600 medium cups of gelato.
We’re hoping to raise that in the next 2 weeks, but we’ll keep going if you keep donating!

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!
