13TH ANNUAL HONOR ROWS RECIPIENTS ANNOUNCED
The Baltimore Ravens and the Governor's Office on Service and Volunteerism (GOSV) today announced the recipients of the 13th annual Honor Rows Program, presented by M&T Bank. During each Ravens home game throughout the 2012 regular season, the program will honor youth groups or organizations that provide outstanding volunteer service to their communities.
For the second-consecutive year, Big Sisters Big Brothers of Central Maryland/Maryland Mentoring Partnership has been named as a season-long partner. The mission of the nonprofit organization is to help children reach their full potential through professionally-supported, one-to-one mentoring relationships through a full range of youth mentoring programs with measurable impact. As an Honor Rows partner, the nonprofit will receive 150 Ravens tickets during the season, designated specifically for mentor/mentee pairs.
In addition to the season-long partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Maryland/Maryland Mentoring Partnership, 14 additional youth-led service organizations were named as 2012 Honor Rows recipients, listed below.
