The Baltimore Ravens are continuing their commitment to youth health and wellness throughout Maryland.

The Ravens Foundation, Inc. awarded $100,000 in PLAY 60 grants to 14 nonprofit organizations serving children and families across the Greater Baltimore area. The program provides individual grants of up to $10,000 to support new or expanding initiatives promoting physical activity and nutrition education. Over the past 20 years, the Ravens Foundation has distributed more than $1.8 million through the PLAY 60 Grant program. The funding has supported athletic programs for students with disabilities, cooking and nutrition instruction, mentorship initiatives and other projects designed to help young people develop healthier lifestyles.
