Eventually we expanded into Baltimore and the wife of the owner of the Ravens became involved so much so that today it has become a part of " NFL Charities ".

At one home game each year in cold weather NFL cities the Team collects kids mittens etc from the fans on their way into the stadium .
Good on ya!
