Our owner, Cal Ripken Jr., retired from baseball knowing that he wanted to give something back to the game that treated him so well. By bringing a Minor League Baseball franchise to the municipality that raised him, he did just that. Fifteen years later, the IronBirds are a strong representation of Harford County, Baltimore County and the DMV region. The IronBirds are a franchise dedicated to providing a truly world-class experience every man, woman and child that passes through the gates of Leidos Field at Ripken Stadium. With an ownership group committed to making a difference in the market through the game of baseball, and through a staff that calls its fans by their first names, the IronBirds treat Harford County, and the surrounding market, as part of the club’s 6 extended family. Entering our sixteenth season in Aberdeen in 2017, we continue to give to every person who passes through our gates. We are an ownership committed to giving back to the game of baseball and to find new ways to engage, promote and reward our local constituents. Community Programs & Promotions KEEP ABERDEEN BEAUTIFUL On Saturday, November 12, members of the IronBirds’ staff worked with Aberdeen Mayor Patrick McGrady to clean-up downtown Aberdeen. Staff painted over graffiti, picked up trash and worked hand-in-hand with city employees and local residents to help freshen up the downtown area. 7 IronBirds Staff Community Involvement ANGELIQUE ABEL GROUP EXPERIENCE SPECIALIST Northeast Chamber Perryville Chamber Havre de Grace Chamber VINCE BULIK SENIOR DIRECTOR, BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT Aberdeen Proving Ground Centennial Committee Member, Advisory Board MATT SLATUS GENERAL MANAGER Board of Directors Aberdeen Chamber 8 Annual Fundraising & Contributions IN STADIUM FUNDRAISING TAPS Jersey Auction $2,300.00 MONETARY DONATIONS Aberdeen Chamber of Commerce $250.00 Cherish The Child - Mountain Christian Church $100.00 The John Carroll School (Josh Hammer Memorial Fund) $2,366.00 Harford Community College Foundation Inc. $ 300.00 NYPL Charitable Foundation $1,000 GIFT IN KIND Ryan Conway - Eagle Scout $100.00 Histiocytosis Association $60.00 C Milton Wright $60.00 Archbishop Curley $60.00 Elk Neck Elementary $60.00 Living Legacy $60.00 Centre Pointe Counseling $60.00 Churchville Lightning Softball $60.00 St. Rita School $60.00 Prince of Peace $60.00 Darlington Fire House $60.00 St. Clement Mary Hofbauer $60.00 The ALS Association $60.00 9 St. Thomas Parish Day School $60.00 Chesapeake High School $60.00 Colonial Nursery School $60.00 Parkville High School PTSA $60.00 South Hampton Middle School $60.00 Manchester Blue Sox $60.00 Notre Dame Prep $60.00 Dance X-Tream of Parkville $60.00 Kingsville Fire Co. $60.00 Perry Hall White Marsh Soccer Club The Auburn School $60.00 Immaculate Conception Home and School $60.00 Conowingo Elem School $60.00 $60.00 Relay for Life $60.00 Forest Hill Elem School $60.00 R.
