July 13, 2026 /3BL/ – The Baltimore Orioles and Truist today announced “Homers for Homerooms,” a new philanthropic initiative that will generate a donation for every Orioles home run at Oriole Park at Camden Yards throughout the 2026 season. For each home run hit, Truist will donate $212.01 to Harlem Park Elementary Middle School, the club’s Adopt-A-School. A nod to the iconic ballpark’s 21201 zip code, the program connects on-field performance directly to meaningful community impact, with funds supporting students, teachers, and administrators at Harlem Park.

“There is nothing like celebrating an Orioles home run, and this added element to each moment will make those celebrations even greater,” shared DON ROVAK, Orioles Chief Revenue Officer. “We’re grateful to Truist for their on-going partnership, and their shared dedication to giving back to our adopted school of Harlem Park Elementary Middle School.”

“Through ‘Homers for Homerooms,’ every Orioles home run becomes a meaningful investment in Baltimore’s future,” said T. J. HUGHES, Truist Regional President for Greater Washington and Maryland. “At Truist, our purpose is to inspire and build better lives and communities, and this initiative brings that to life in an impactful way for students, teachers, and the broader community.”

The “Homers for Homerooms” initiative builds on the recently announced partnership between the Orioles and Truist, in which Truist was named the official bank of the Baltimore Orioles. Together, the organizations are committed to creating memorable fan experiences and lasting impact across Baltimore.

The Orioles robust partnership with the Harlem Park community began in April 2024, when the club launched the Adopt-A-School program, which is grounded in the belief that unwavering support and impactful opportunities can play a pivotal role in accelerating student and school success. This allows the Orioles to stand as a committed partner in impacting Harlem Park students’ lives and learning for years to come.

About the Baltimore Orioles

Since moving to Baltimore in 1954, the Orioles have become an institution in the city they call home. Over the past 70 years, the Baltimore Orioles have become one of the most storied franchises in all of Major League Baseball, winning three World Series Championships, 10 Division Titles, with the most recent coming in 2023, and calling The Ballpark That Forever Changed Baseball™ home. The Orioles are proud to give back to the community, focusing their year-round philanthropic efforts on two distinct pillars: Strengthening Our Community and Empowering Our Youth, while generating more than $10 billion in economic impact since 1992, and acting as a catalyst for tourism for the City of Baltimore and State of Maryland.

Why it matters

  1. America’s next chapter depends on innovation and service
  2. Technology alone isn’t enough; people drive progress
  3. Communities and collaboration help shape the nation’s future

As America prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, the nation’s story is being told not only through our history, but through the people and ideas shaping its future.

That spirit is at the center of America250, the nonpartisan commission created to commemorate the nation’s semiquincentennial in 2026. Through programs centered on innovation, civic engagement, volunteerism and education, America250 is encouraging Americans not only to reflect on the country’s past, but also to help build what comes next.

Why Leidos is partnering with America250

As America250’s Founding Innovation Partner, Leidos is helping support a nationwide effort that recognizes a simple truth: America’s future will be shaped not only by technological advancement, but by the people who choose to put their talents, ideas and energy toward something greater than themselves.

The partnership reflects values that have long guided Leidos – innovation, service and a commitment to strengthening the communities where we live and work. It also provides an opportunity to engage employees, customers and communities in conversations about the future while honoring the spirit of service and civic participation that has defined the American experience for generations. 

Advancing innovation for America’s future

Innovation has been a defining characteristic of America’s story for 250 years. From scientific breakthroughs and technological advancements to new ways of solving complex challenges, progress has always depended on people willing to think differently and act boldly.

This focus has been central to Leidos’ participation in America250 initiatives, including the America Innovates series, which brings together leaders from industry, academia and government to explore the ideas and technologies that will help define the future.

Earlier this year, Leidos Chief Technology Officer Ted Tanner joined fellow innovators at the America Innovates Expo to discuss how emerging technologies can help strengthen America’s competitiveness, security and prosperity in the decades ahead.

When cases of canine parvovirus began rising, Arizona Humane Society and Elanco jumped into action. 

Through collaboration with Elanco, the shelter’s veterinary team was able to use Trutect™, the first and only monoclonal antibody treatment designed to neutralize the parvo virus, contributing to less hospital time1. In December, 11 puppies were saved thanks to this collaboration and the dedicated veterinary teams caring for them. 

“I have been working with AZ Humane Society for a while now and have seen how much they care about the pets and animals they see during the day. Some animals end up very sick and need much more help than can be offered. Canine Parvovirus Monoclonal Antibody offers dogs sick with parvo to have a fighting chance at survival. We at Elanco offered AZ Humane Society the opportunity to use CPMA and it has been amazing to see such good results. Now more dogs can live a happy life and find a happy home!”
Cody Stinnett, Sr. Sales Representative
Elanco Animal Health

“Thanks to Elanco’s donation of CPMA, our veterinary team can treat pets quickly and more effectively, making a real difference for the pets and families we serve.”
Serena Ness, Director of Shelter Medicine
Arizona Humane Society

Parvo remains preventable through vaccination, highlighting the importance of protecting pets and the communities they live in. 

Together, Arizona Humane Society and Elanco are ensuring more pets receive the care they need. Because making life better for animals, makes life better.
