Baltimore Orioles Hurricane Milton Relief

In response to the devastating impact of Hurricane Milton across the area, the Baltimore Orioles have partnered with the Community Foundation of Sarasota County to support relief efforts through Season of Sharing, a long-running initiative that provides support to neighbors in need.

The Orioles have committed to donating an initial $250,000 and will be matching every additional dollar raised up to another $250,000 to aid families and individuals affected by the hurricane across Sarasota and Manatee counties. Furthermore, when the $500,000 target is reached, The Patterson Foundation will provide an additional $100,000.

"In times of crisis, it's essential for us to stand together as a community," said David M. Rubenstein, Orioles Owner and Control Person. “We hope that this match challenge inspires our fans and community members to give generously and help provide immediate relief for those affected by Hurricane Milton."

For more than two decades, Season of Sharing has provided a vital safety net for residents by offering one-time financial assistance for essential living expenses. Now, as families face the aftermath of Hurricane Milton, donations will go directly to covering urgent needs such as rent, utilities, transportation, and childcare, helping families recover and regain a sense of security.

"I commend the Baltimore Orioles for living their values of strengthening our community by supporting their fans, friends, and neighbors in their second home," said Roxie Jerde, President and CEO of the Community Foundation of Sarasota County "This partnership exemplifies the spirit of collaboration that is at the heart of Season of Sharing."
