The Bridger’s helped to make 30 tie blankets to put into “comfort bags” for trauma patients at UVa!
It was a great opportunity to be able to help and give back. We hope these blankets bring comfort and smiles to those who receive them. Thank you Patty for arranging this!
Our show’s first performer was Bob Somerby who shares our belief in the power of humor. He comes by it honestly: Bob’s grandfather Rufus was a traveling entertainer and storyteller and his father Al owned the legendary Old Howard Theater in Boston. In addition to working as a comedian for over twenty five years Bob owned his own comedy club in Baltimore for 6 years and created a one man show Material World from which he presented routines at our Comedy Night including the piece ‘Blue Corn Flakes’ we’re posting.
Interested readers click here to the Washington Post’s review of Bob’s one man show Material World.
THANK YOU BOB!

WOW! Unbelievable and amazing! What is unbelievable and amazing? YOU, friends of the BridgeLine. Thank you.
YOU have shown us at the end of 2016 a warm, generous, and thoughtful support that blew us all away. Thank you.
At the end of the campaign we have raised over $36,000… and we thought our original goal was very ambitious. We cannot thank YOU enough.
It means that you understand just how valuable our programs are to the people we are serving. Your donations will ensure that our residents and members can continue to thrive and are not isolated but within a great group of peers and friends.
Thank YOU so very much again for helping us in this campaign and we wish you a very happy, exciting, and healthy 2017.
