BRIAN'S BRACELET FUND

BRIAN ROBERTS TO RAISE FUNDS FOR UNIVERSITY OF MD HOSPITAL FOR CHILDREN THROUGH BRACELET SALES

Orioles second baseman BRIAN ROBERTS will sponsor the sale of baseball seam bracelets this season to raise funds for the University of Maryland Hospital for Children. Roberts, who underwent heart surgery at age five, makes regular visits to the patients at UMHC.

The team and coaching staff bracelets will feature the initials “S.O.” in memory of Orioles director of community outreach SHANNON OBAKER, who passed away due to cancer at the age of 29 in January 2007.

Shannon was a great advocate for the Orioles’ community efforts and was the person who coordinated my involvement with UMHC,” said Roberts. “I wanted to do something in her memory, and
selling the bracelets gives me the opportunity to do that
and raise funds for a worthy cause.”

Bracelets are made of black leather with orange
baseball seam stitching and include a tag with
the outlines of a baseball player and two
children. They are $10 each and are
available at www.briansbracelet.com.
