We are raising funds for the UMPS CARE Charities children's hospital program and then running in The Baltimore Marathon Team Relay on October 10th.   Our event is called the Baltimore Run for Bears. 

The UMPS CARE Charities BLUE for Kids program brings a crew of Major League Baseball Umpires to the bedside of children with life-threatening illnesses. And the umpires don’t come empty-handed. Each crew brings a Build-A-Bear Workshop®...right to the hospital room!  

Children coping with a stay in the hospital make their own stuffed animal friend.  The experience includes a variety of pre-stuffed animals, stuffed animal-sized clothing outfits, a birth certificate, and a Cub Condo carrying case to bring the new furry friend home in.  The umpires also invite lovable team mascots like the Oriole Bird, Phillie Phanatic, and Wally the Green Monster to join in the fun.  

Please pledge your support by donating Build-A-Bear Workshop experiences for children coping with cancer and other serious illness.  Consider donating an experience on behalf of your children or perhaps to remember someone special by giving a gift in their memory.
