The big top just got even brighter—introducing our amazing Honorary Event Chair for this year’s fundraiser!
This year’s A Night for the Network: At the Carnival wouldn’t be possible without the generosity of our community — people who care deeply about our mission and want to make a difference.
We’re proud to welcome Scott Shapiro as the Honorary Host of this year’s event. A longtime advocate for education and opportunity, Scott’s dedication to building strong communities aligns with the Student Support Network’s mission to provide food, basic necessities, and advocacy to support the well-being of Baltimore County Public School students in need.
In his professional life, Scott serves in a senior leadership role at Sinclair Broadcast Group, where he helps guide strategy and growth. His leadership and commitment to making a difference make him a meaningful part of this special evening.
