The Orioles renewed their partnership with the American Heart Association (AHA) that featured the club serving as mission engagement chair for the 31st Annual Baltimore Heart Ball on February 28 at the Hilton Baltimore. Together, the Orioles and the Event Chair, SunTrust, helped to raise more than $679,000 for cardiovascular disease research, education programs, and advocacy efforts. The Orioles thank sponsors CareFirst, the Economic Alliance of Greater Baltimore, and the Horseshoe Casino.
