“If this has to happen so we could take care of our streets, then so be it. This isn’t just happening in Baltimore. It’s everywhere. If the movement starts in Baltimore, then let’s go do it then. That’s why I’m here.” – Ray Lewis
Just days after Baltimore City was impacted by riots, 85 Ravens, including the entire player roster, coaches, staff and alumni Ray Lewis, took to the city streets to give their support. The team distributed food to more than 600 families of West Baltimore and visited three schools, including Matthew A. Henson Elementary, Frederick Douglass High School and Excel Academy, to speak to students about overcoming obstacles and coming together as a community.

2015 Ravens Man of the Year In 2015, Steve Smith Sr. was named the Ravens’ Man of the Year. Below are just five of the many reasons why: Holiday Helpers … On A Scooter A torn Achilles didn’t stop Smith Sr. from getting into the holiday spirit. Smith Sr. organized the team’s 11th annual Holiday Helpers and was on a scooter wheeling around with 60 disadvantaged youth from various Police Athletic Leagues in the Baltimore area. The Steve Smith Family Foundation Steve and his wife, Angie, founded the Steve Smith Family Foundation, which champions families affected by domestic violence and promotes child health and wellness. Partner With House of Ruth Partnering with the House of Ruth Maryland, one of the nation's leading intimate partner violence centers, Smith collected toiletries for the shelter's residents and donated game-used cleats to raise funds for the organization. Went All The Way To Germany Smith went international, hosting a football camp in Germany for children of active-duty and retired U.S. military members. While there, Smith visited wounded soldiers from a military operation in Afghanistan.
