Baltimore Orioles Support Hurricane Milton Relief Efforts
The Giving Coast
SRQ DAILY WEDNESDAY PHILANTHROPY EDITION
WEDNESDAY OCT 23, 2024 |
In response to the devastating impact of Hurricane Milton, the Baltimore Orioles have partnered with the Community Foundation of Sarasota County to support relief efforts through Season of Sharing, a long-running initiative that provides support to neighbors in need. The Orioles have committed to donating an initial $250,000 and matching every additional dollar raised up to another $250,000 to aid families and individuals affected by the hurricane across Sarasota and Manatee counties. With this support, the initiative could raise a total of $500,000 for critical resources to those in need. Furthermore, if the $500,000 target is reached, The Patterson Foundation will provide an additional $100,000. For over two decades, Season of Sharing has provided a vital safety net for residents by offering one-time financial assistance for essential living expenses. Now, as families face the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, donations will go directly to covering urgent needs such as rent, utilities, transportation, and childcare, helping families recover and regain a sense of security. Furthermore, all net proceeds from the Orioles’ 2025 Spring Training 50/50 raffle will be donated to All Faiths Food Bank. Following Florida Power & Light’s use of Ed Smith Stadium as a staging area for recovery operations, the Orioles will also partner with All Faiths Food Bank to host neighborhood food distributions, extending essential resources to those in need. Fans are encouraged to contribute to the Season of Sharing initiative by visiting cfsarasota.org/Baltimore-Orioles-Hurricane-Milton-Relief. With the Orioles’ matching challenge, donors have a unique opportunity to more than double the impact, bringing relief to those most affected by Hurricane Milton.
