It’s been a tough few weeks for the city of Baltimore. Both the teams from the National Football League (NFL) and Major League Baseball (MLB) based in the city have stepped up to help fund the recovery of the prominent Baltimore Bridge after it collapsed on March 26.
Each team has donated $5 million to the Baltimore Community Foundation’s Maryland Tough Baltimore Strong Key Bridge Fund–developed for the recovery of the bridge and to support the families, communities, first responders, port workers, and small businesses affected by the disaster.
On Friday, the Ravens’ owner Steve Bisciotti released an official joint statement.
