Orioles Launch 'Birdland Community Heroes' Program
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- The Orioles Birdland Community Heroes program will honor designated "heroes" for every weekend home game throughout the season beginning on Friday, April 29.
The program recognizes community heroes who inspire us through their spirited commitment to extend a hand in charity, service, hope, and harmony. Each of the honorees will be featured during an in-game ceremony at the conclusion of the fifth inning.
This recognition honors the heroism of members of our extended Orioles community from all walks of life, occupations, and diverse backgrounds living in our region, our country, and abroad, who have distinguished themselves by selflessly working or volunteering in fields that care for, serve, teach, protect, and improve the lives of others, around the corner or around the globe, who are most in need.
"All over Birdland, our fans tirelessly give back in service to their local communities. This program is designed to honor those selfless contributions and shine the spotlight on everyday heroes throughout our region," said Greg Bader, Orioles Vice President, Communications & Marketing.
