Orioles home runs will fund Baltimore school through Truist partnership
Every Orioles homer at Camden Yards now sends $212.01 to Harlem Park. At the club's current pace, that adds up to about $39,937 for a West Baltimore school of roughly 400 students.
Under Homers for Homerooms, every Orioles home run at Camden Yards in 2026 will send $212.01 to Harlem Park Elementary/Middle School in West Baltimore. The amount nods to the ballpark’s 21201 ZIP code. With the Orioles at 39-47 and 100 home runs through 86 games, the school would be on track for about $39,937 by season’s end.
Harlem Park sits at 1401 W Lafayette Avenue, serves pre-K through 8th grade, and is a schoolwide Title I campus. Venus Jackson leads the school. Baltimore City Public Schools counts 365 students there, and NCES counts 402 for the 2024-25 school year. That puts the home-run money at about $109 per student using the city count, or about $99 using the federal count.
The Orioles launched Adopt-A-School with Harlem Park on April 12, 2024. The partnership was endorsed by Baltimore City Public Schools and aimed at supporting more than 440 students and staff in West Baltimore. The relationship produced a renovated outdoor classroom unveiled April 11, 2025, after the 2024 Orioles gave one playoff share to the school and the Orioles Charitable Foundation and Heart of America matched support. That space added a pergola, permanent musical instruments, art easels, a mobile whiteboard, picnic tables, benches and Little Libraries.
Homers for Homerooms sits inside a larger Orioles-Truist sponsorship. On March 19, Truist became the club’s official bank and got naming rights to the 350-seat Truist Club behind home plate. Don Rovak, the Orioles’ chief revenue officer, said, “There is nothing like celebrating an Orioles home run,” while T.J. Hughes, Truist’s regional president for Greater Washington and Maryland, said every homer becomes a “meaningful investment in Baltimore’s future.”
