The Baltimore Ravens and the Governor's Office on Service and Volunteerism (GOSV) announced the kickoff of the 24th Annual Honor Rows program, presented by M&T Bank. During each Ravens home game of the 2024 regular season, the program recognizes youth groups and organizations who provide outstanding volunteer service to their communities.
Honorees will be selected by a panel of youth service leaders with the assistance of the GOSV, the Baltimore Ravens and M&T Bank staff. Organizations must complete an application and provide a 100-word essay describing why the group is deserving of the honor. To qualify for consideration, groups must demonstrate a strong commitment to servicing the needs of the local community.
Since the beginning of the partnership, M&T Bank has honored nearly 16,000 young people from a range of organizations. Winning groups receive up to 100 tickets to a home game, Honor Rows t-shirts for all participants and in-game recognition on the RavensVision boards. Additionally, the Ravens' broadcast partner, WBAL-TV, will feature each group during a televised segment prior to home games.
"M&T has been a proud sponsor of the Honor Rows program for over 20 years, and we are delighted to see the program's continued success in providing a memorable and exciting gameday experience for youth organizations making positive contributions to Baltimore," Augie Chiasera, M&T Bank's Regional President stated. "Along with the Ravens and the Governor's Office on Service and Volunteerism, we are thrilled to play a significant role in recognizing and encouraging the efforts of young people dedicated to improving their communities."
Applications for the 24th Annual Honor Rows program can be completed online at www.BaltimoreRavens.com/HonorRows. The deadline to submit an application is Aug. 21, 2024.
