Ozzie Newsome knows that providing young people with an opportunity can make all the difference.
Growing up in the segregated South, Newsome overcame many obstacles to become a Hall of Fame player and legendary executive as the NFL's first Black general manager with the Baltimore Ravens. Whenever Newsome was given an opportunity, he excelled. Football became Newsome's path to success, and during his journey, he has always valued the importance of education.
Now through the Stephen and Renee Bisciotti Foundation, part of Newsome's legacy will help Baltimore high school students further their education. The Ravens' owner and his wife will honor Newsome, the Ravens' Executive Vice-President, by making a $4 million gift in his name to Maryland's historically Black colleges and universities. The $4 million donation will create the Ozzie Newsome Scholars Program, which will fund scholarships for Baltimore City public school graduates who attend an HBCU in Maryland.
