Have you ever wondered where Minor Leaguers stay while they are in Aberdeen?

Every summer, the Orioles' 40+ players and staff descend upon the House that Cal built and need a nest to call home for 5.5 months.

The IronBirds have amazing families who help out each year, but we are always looking for more. You are given a great branding opportunity by attaching yourself to our promotional pieces on our website, social media and in-park.

Being the presenting partner of Host Families creates a great branding opportunity in connection with local Harford, Cecil and Baltimore County families.

Harford County is full of Non-Profit Organizations who need our help. With this idea, we will be able to partner together to present an NPO of the Night. This will occur on every Friday and Saturday game, totaling 22 non-profits. Pregame, we will interview a representative from the organization to inform the fans of their cause. They will also receive a table on the concourse alongside you, so that you both will receive the opportunity to speak with our fans.

The Kids' Concession Stand will be a fun activity for kids in the ballpark while allowing fans to support a good cause. Essentially, one lucky child will get to run the Kids' Concession Stand Friday-Sunday game. This will be a cart that has one special item each night, i.e. hot dogs, cracker jacks, popcorn, things that every fan loves. The child will choose their own custom price for the featured item that night.

This will create the opportunity for your company to give back to the community! For every item sold at the stand, proceeds go back to an organization of your choosing and we will make the donation as a lump sum at the end of the season.

Here's where you come in and the benefits you receive: the cart will have your logo along with the beneficiary of the donation so that both of you receive exposure in the park. You can also staff the stand to help the child with things such as handling money, distributing the food and making change so your employees can get volunteer hours. And finally, at the end of the day, your support will help the charity of your choice!

This season, the IronBirds will be holding our second 2131 Run. This commemorates the moment that Cal Ripken Jr. broke Lou Gehrig's record of 2,130 consecutive games played. We are encouraging runners to "Start Your Streak." Do something every day to better yourself, just as Cal did.

To symbolize that, we will have our participants run, jog, or walk for 21 minutes and 31 consecutive seconds here at Leidos Field at Ripken Stadium.

Participants of the run will receive a medal, t-shirt as well as a ticket to an IronBirds game! Proceeds from this run will go to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance.
