2017 Community Impact

TOGETHER 2017

COMMUNITY IMPACT

OUR MISSION IS TO WIN FOOTBALL GAMES, SERVE OUR FANS AND BE A POSITIVE FORCE IN OUR COMMUNITY.

Dear Friend and Devoted Ravens Fan: The Ravens are committed to embrace and improve the communities surrounding our team. This investment and kindness started with the Modell family when the franchise was born in 1996. Annually, we produce a community relations book to highlight these efforts. This year we are sharing this publication with all the fans and supporters who follow the Ravens.

Included in this book are many of the activities our team completed in 2017.

This important work to make positive change, especially from our players, continues to improve the lives of thousands of children, families and first responders, including members of the military and police departments.

With encouragement and support from many of you, we continue to use our energy, visibility and investments to make our home a better place.

Thank you for being an important part of these efforts.

Sincerely,

Steve Bisciotti

“Wow, we had a great day out in the community, alongside the Baltimore police, to let these young people know that, ‘We are here for you. We are all in this together.’ We also want them to know that our police officers want to help people thrive. Hopefully, as they saw the Ravens and the Baltimore City Police standing together, we can start to help bridge the gap.”

Joe Flacco

You don’t have to spend much time with Benjamin to understand his passion for serving others. He is an exceptional person who has a unique ability to lead, educate and inspire. For him to be honored with this award is outstanding.

He never looks for recognition, but he certainly deserves it.

– Ravens Owner Steve Bisciotti

OUR TEAM. OUR COMMUNITY. Our players are in the community. I know of guys who are riding along with police, who are in firehouses around Baltimore, who are in schools, who are in daycare centers, who are at shelters every single day, trying to make a difference. I think fans would really be proud of the people that are representing them as football players in this town.

They deserve our respect, support and, importantly, our thanks every day. We try to do that as often as we can.

They inspire us. Members of the military are all about team. They have each other’s backs. They defend us.

They protect us. I salute all of them.

HOMETOWN HUDDLE

Chris Moore

The Ravens’ Hometown Huddle is one of United Way’s favorite events. It is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the kids. Teaching them that being active and staying healthy can be fun is one thing, but seeing their faces light up as they run and laugh with the players and volunteers is priceless.

– Danielle Hogan Assoc. VP, Marketing & Communications United Way of Central Maryland

Since 2009, more than $18 million has been raised for the American Cancer Society through the NFL’s Crucial Catch campaign.

DONATED OVER 250,000 MEALS to the Maryland Food Bank (2016-17), continuing 22 years of donations.

I’m so honored and thankful to have received the 2017 Community Quarterback Award. Money from the award will go toward registration scholarships for families that need financial help and also for new equipment. The North Harford community strives to have our children be active in sports, and this donation will go a long way to helping us achieve that goal.
