For several weeks during the high school football season, the Baltimore Ravens will recognize local high school football games as part of the Ravens RISE High School Football Showdown program.
At each of the four contests in 2024, current Ravens players will be in attendance for a pre-game visit with each team and to help administer the opening coin toss. Ravens Cheerleaders, mascot Poe and Baltimore's Marching Ravens will also be in attendance, and both teams will be awarded apparel to wear during the game and will participate in team introductions through a billowing smoke curtain and pyrotechnics. All participating teams will receive a $2,500 monetary donation from the Ravens and Dunkin', the official coffee and breakfast partner of the Ravens, to help enhance their respective programs. Fans in attendance can also visit the Dunkin' Community Cruiser on site to enjoy free samples of Dunkin's seasonal beverages, $5 Dunkin' promotional gift cards and an appearance from Dunkin' mascot, Cuppy.
Each Showdown will be broadcast/streamed live on the Baltimore Ravens YouTube channel and produced by Corrigan Sports Enterprises. Following the matchup, each Showdown will be featured with scores, highlights and a photo gallery on https://www.baltimoreravens.com/fans/rise/high-school-football-showdown/.
