Celebrating 21 seasons of IronBirds baseball at Leidos Field at Ripken Stadium, the IronBirds are also proud to serve as a strong advocate for our local community leaders, volunteers and organizations to make a difference. Throughout 2023, the Aberdeen IronBirds made over 270 donations to non-profit organizations in the Harford, Cecil and Baltimore Counties and surrounding areas through fundraising, ticket donations, first-pitches, promotional items, and other in-kind initiatives, totaling over $362,000 in value.
In 2023 the IronBirds celebrated the Harford County Education Foundation, Leveling the Playing Field, and Voices of Hope as Community Partners, benefiting from in-stadium signage, digital advertising, and in-person marketing opportunities at Ripken Stadium during IronBirds games. As 2023 comes to a close, the IronBirds are excited to announce our newest Community Partners for the 2024 season, SARC Maryland and Clubhouse by Ashley. Each organization will receive similar benefits and interact with IronBirds fans throughout the 2024 season.
