ORIOLES DAY

TU41 children and family members come together to enjoy a summer pastime while being recognized on “the big screen” by the Orioles. This past summer we enjoyed our return to Camden Yards after missing out last two years due to COVID. It was our first gathering after a long 24 months and was wonderful to see everyone!

RAVENS DAY

Team Up For Toys is a signature holiday program of the Team Up for 1 Foundation. The unique toy drive is specifically for children with challenges and whose families do not have the resources to celebrate during the holidays. With your help, we set out to raise funds and gifts of new toys to distribute to hundreds of children facing every possible setback. Each toy donation will put a smile on a child’s face, encourage their imagination, and help them hope beyond their life’s circumstances.

*All toys should be new, interactive, unwrapped & have a $20 value

ESPORTS

Team Up for 1 has introduced esports to our sports options!

eSports, also known as e-Sports, egames, or electronic sports are organized competitive video gaming. It primarily involves teams competing against each other in tournaments for prizes. Functionally, it’s the same as traditional sports and has exploded in popularity among high schools and colleges.

The NACE (National Association of Collegiate Esports) program describes a varsity esports program as “the principal teams representing a college or university. Primarily these teams compete against similar teams at peer educational institutions.”
