Kenwood High Partners with Orioles Group

Kenwood High collected more than 1,000 pieces of athletic gear for charity last year, and it's aiming to beat its own record this month, according to the school's website.

Until March 22, the Sports Science Academy is accepting old equipment—such as trophies, gloves, cleats and balls (deflated ones too!)—which will be refurbished and given to needy children across the globe.

The sports science magnet program at Kenwood is conducting the drive in partnership with an Orioles-affiliated organization called "Oriole Advocates." 

The Oriole Advocates is a volunteer group that promotes Orioles baseball by doing charitable acts in the name of the team.

Those interested in donating items should bring them to Room 108 at Kenwood High School. Donations will be accepted until March 22.
