What:
The Baltimore Ravens and Junior Achievement of Central Maryland will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday, Oct. 20 (10 a.m.), to celebrate the opening of the new Ravens storefront at Junior Achievement BizTown. Junior Achievement BizTown combines classroom curriculum with an interactive day in a simulated economy. Inside the Ravens storefront, students will assume real front-office roles including CEO, CFO, Ticketing Manager, Flock Shop Manager and Broadcast Specialist and will be tasked with managing budgets, pitching sponsorships, operating point-of-sale systems, designing jerseys and calling plays. The Ravens storefront was made possible through funding provided by the Ravens Foundation, Inc., the organization's charitable arm and a longtime supporter of youth education and community initiatives.
Event features and media visuals include:
- Student welcome parade led by the Ravens Cheerleaders and Poe.
- Introductory remarks and official ribbon-cutting ceremony with Ravens leadership, Junior Achievement executives and student representatives.
- Swearing-in ceremony with a Ravens representative administering the official oath of office and presenting a commemorative gift to the student mayor.
- Hands-on student business activations inside the space, including play calling in the broadcast booth, Flock Shop merchandise sales, jersey design surveying and corporate sponsorship sales.
