Goodwill and the Baltimore Ravens to Dress Up for Local Job Training Programs

The party will include video games, billiards, bowling, dancing, a costume contest, catered food, an open bar and a silent auction. Items to be auctioned include a trip to Costa Rica, Napa Valley, gift certificates from many local restaurants and hotels, autographed memorabilia from the Ravens, The Rolling Stones, Barack Obama, Michael Phelps and much more.

"We had a blast at last year's event and we're looking forward to coming back," said Justin Tucker. "Goodwill does outstanding work in our community, helping those who need it the most reach independence and stability."

The event will raise nearly $135,000 for Goodwill's training and employment programs serving individuals with barriers to employment.

"Everyone always has a great time at the event, and it wouldn't be possible without the support of the Baltimore Ravens and our generous corporate partners," said Lisa Rusyniak, President & CEO of Goodwill Industries of the Chesapeake, Inc. "Most importantly, the funds raised support our job training and placement programs and help us provide even more services in the community."

Tickets are $150 for individuals and sponsorships are still available. Costumes are optional. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.goodwillgridiron.com. Tickets will also be available to purchase at the door.
