Dear Friend and Devoted Ravens Fan:

On behalf of the entire Baltimore Ravens organization, I’m honored to present our 2022 Community Impact book. We share this publication with all fans and supporters of the Ravens – as each of you plays an important role in our community outreach!

The Ravens are committed to embracing and improving the communities surrounding our team, and we annually produce this book to highlight the extensive efforts of our organization – players, coaches, staff and alumni. I’m extremely proud of our consistent community engagement and dedicated advocacy to making a lasting impact. This ongoing and important work builds positive change and continues to improve the lives of thousands of children and families in our area.

I’m also excited about our recently announced partnership with The Boys & Girls Club of Metro Baltimore on a comprehensive renovation of the Hilton Recreation Center in West Baltimore. Over the next two years, we’ll continue working with leaders from Baltimore City Recreation and Parks, LEVEL82, Green Street Academy and the surrounding community on this exceptional project. We are thrilled to provide funding for the renovation, which will benefit Baltimore children and teens by delivering a safe and healthy environment that enriches educational and athletic opportunities. (Please see the back of this book for some early renderings and plans.)

Overall, we will continue to join our incredible partners by utilizing our energy, visibility and financial resources to make a meaningful difference throughout Baltimore and Maryland.

Thank you for your support and encouragement in helping serve the communities we love.

Sincerely,

2022 signature project

Ravens staff members participated in an organization-wide volunteer day in June 2022, transforming and beautifying Franklin Square Elementary/Middle school. Over 200 volunteers featuring Ravens staff, team President Sashi Brown and 53 Ravens players, including the entire rookie class, took part in the restoration event. Throughout the day, volunteers refurbished the school’s gymnasium, computer lab, cafeteria, teachers’ lounge and hallways. Additionally, volunteers built an outdoor classroom, planted trees and painted outdoor murals.

“it is really important for us to be able to be in the community with our fans. throughout the offseason, we do a number of these projects, and we will continue to.”

“What is the purpose of sport? Is it just to win and be no. 1 at everything? or, is sport a tool that is going to shape my character and help me to be the purpose I need to be outside of sport, in life and in other arenas?”
