The Crofton Regional Community Center (CRCC) advisory committee is gearing up for “Crofton Night” at the Bowie Baysox’s stadium Wednesday June 15.

Croftonite and Nashville recording artist Ashley Forrest is scheduled to perform during the game.

"I am so excited to be singing the National Anthem for Crofton Night again this year! I am very passionate about the CRCC and the Crofton community. Being invited to sing our National Anthem for such a wonderful event is truly an honor. I'm really looking forward to it!" Forrest said in a press release.

"Singing a capella doesn't really make me nervous. I enjoy singing all different styles of music and I grew up singing in choirs so I'm pretty comfortable with it. Singing without accompaniment really allows me to be a little more free and soulful with the melody as well. It's actually one of my favorite styles!" The singer added in the same release.

Crofton Night is a fundraiser to help fund the CRCC. Plans for the center come at a time when community leaders say crime is seeping into the suburbs and young people are looking for safe places to get together.
