Stephen and Renee Bisciotti Foundation and Ravens to transform Hilton Recreation Center

The Stephen and Renee Bisciotti Foundation and the Ravens commit to transform the West Baltimore Hilton Recreation Center

The Baltimore Ravens have been known for not only their outstanding play on the field, but their work off of it as well. They are an extremely charitable organization, and that is shown by players, coaches, executives and more continuously giving back to the community when they can.

The most recent act of kindness from the franchise is that the Ravens as well as The Stephen and Renee Bisciotti Foundation have committed $20 million dollars to transform the Hilton Recreation Center.  The West Baltimore Hilton Recreation Center will now be known as the Baltimore Ravens Boys and Girls Club at Hilton Recreation Center.

Baltimore Ravens and Bisciotti foundation to donate to support social justice reform

Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti’s foundation will use a committee of current and former Ravens players to decide where donations will go.

Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti continues to use his wealth for the good of the city. After donating more than $1 million in total to help people during the coronavirus pandemic, the Stephen and Renee Bisciotti Foundation is joining the Ravens to donate money towards social justice reform. The foundation will use a committee of former and current Ravens players to help decide which Baltimore-area programs will receive funds.

The move comes after protests have started up around the country following the death of George Floyd. Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti released a statement to go along with the announcement of the donations.

There is nothing I can say to ease the pain felt by African-American communities across our country. No words will repair the damage that has been done.

Like many people, I am sickened, disheartened and shaken by the acts of racism that continue to overwhelm our society. The most recent killing, involving George Floyd, is yet another tragic example of the discrimination that African-Americans face each day.

Now, more than ever, we must all strengthen our pursuit of positive change, as we stand with peaceful protestors around the country. We must all seek to understand by listening better and learning more. We must all discover new ways to unite. We must all work to break the cycle of systematic racial injustice.

Our players have been – and will continue to be – at the forefront of this change. We believe in their commitment to furthering social justice and invoking meaningful change. We stand side by side with them, in full support. It is for this reason that I have asked a group of former and current Ravens players to decide which organizations should receive proceeds from the $1 million donation we are making today.

Bisciotti foundation donates $1 million to MD Food Bank amid COVID-19 crisis

As Maryland continues their social distancing regulations in order to combat the coronavirus pandemic, Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti and his wife Renee are looking to help those in need. The Stephen and Renee Bisciotti Foundation was thanked on Twitter by the Maryland Food Bank for donating $1 million.

This isn’t the first time the foundation has donated during the pandemic either. The Bisciottis previously donated $250,000 each to four non-profit charities, including the Maryland Food Bank, back in March.

The donations will help those less fortunate keep up as people shelter in place. While many have been stockpiling food and water through the pandemic, not everyone has the financial ability to do so, or even ensure regular meals. The Maryland Food Bank and their partners are expanding efforts to fight against food insecurity as more people lose income and the ability to keep their pantries well stocked during the pandemic. The Maryland Food Bank has also distributed grab-and-go meals as schools being closed has meant many kids don’t have access to school-provided food.
