Throughout the 2019 season, the Orioles will celebrate the life of Orioles Legend and National Baseball Hall of Famer FRANK ROBINSON, who passed away on February 7 at the age of 83.
In honor of Robinson's commitment to advancing civil rights for African Americans, the Orioles Charitable Foundation will donate a total of $60,000 to several civil rights and African American museums. A donation of $20,000 will be made to the Reginald F. Lewis Museum of African American History & Culture in Baltimore, the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, Tenn., and the National Museum of African American History & Culture in Washington D.C. A representative from each organization will be recognized as part of Opening Day ceremonies at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on Thursday, April 4, prior to the 3:05 p.m. ET game against the New York Yankees. The Orioles will present the donations and honor Robinson's legacy with a video tribute and a moment of silence.
