“It was such a thrilling day for the children — they had the chance to meet a Baltimore Oriole baseball star, and on top of that, they were treated to watching a real Baltimore Ravens’ practice. Our thanks go out to Nick and Christina Markakis and their Foundation, for giving these children a bright spot in their day, and for giving them something they will remember for the rest of their lives.”

“The Sparrows’ Nest Ministries is very grateful to the Markakis family and The Right Side Foundation for providing the children we serve with the opportunity to experience an Oriole game at Camden Yards. It gave each of them a chance to experience a different atmosphere from their daily routine and an opportunity to put into practice the life skills being taught in our programs. It was a night most of the youngsters will never forget!”
