We are pleased to announce PNC Bank as an official corporate sponsor of the Baltimore Nighthawks for the 2021 season. We are members of the Women’s Football Alliance (WFA) which was established in 2009 and has become the world’s largest competitive women’s tackle football league.

The team works to facilitate the development of strength and character in everyone that participates. The Baltimore Nighthawks also have a demonstrated commitment to supporting various charities, youth programs and community engagement programs.
When I joined the Baltimore Nighthawks, I was so excited to share my experience with everyone. Anyone who knows me, knows I love the sport. Even with that knowledge, there are still some that were surprised to learn the news. I wanted so bad to be able to post me and the team in full blown uniforms on some “girls run the world” type style. However, the COVID-19 situation delayed that. Almost every week we asked about the uniforms. When the opportunity came for us to finally link up and get ALL our equipment, I was ecstatic! I didn’t even realize how much I had missed everyone until we were all together again. While I was initially focused on the uniform and the headshots, it felt sooo good to see everyone again. It was like long lost family and we just picked up where we left off and shared many laughs, as usual. But that feeling of putting on my jersey for the first time was indescribable. It instantly made me feel like all of this was real and I hadn’t been pretending to be a football player. It made me proud of what I had accomplished even though I never played a game. If we weren’t social distancing, I probably would have hugged Coach Bryan! She is the reason I am even able to be here and do something I love. The headshots turned more into a photo shoot thanks to Hugh. We watched each other, encouraged each other, and talked a little smack too! This event Coach put together was everything we needed, family, football, and food! 😊

The Chocolate Affair was the first opportunity I had to be with my team outside of practice. It was also the first time I did an event like this. I did not know what to expect and even with instructions on the style of dress, I had no idea what to wear. However, I was excited to support the cause and represent my team. I grew up in Baltimore, so I have seen firsthand how bad some of the homeless need assistance. Standing in the ballroom with my team surrounding not only me, but the entire room filed with guests was a bit surreal. Listening to the stories and watching videos on what Healthcare for the Homeless has already done almost brought me to tears. It is always amazing when you see a community come together for a common goal. It made be extremely proud to be a part of it all. With so many volunteers we went through that crowd collecting donations in very quick order. Reaching our goal and still receiving donations was great to see. After business was done, we were able to indulge in the best chocolate delights I have ever had. Some of which went along great with the spirit of our choice! After all of that, there was still time for us all to cut loose. The Baltimore Nighthawks hit the dance floor showing off our moves and had a ball! I would do this event every year, given the opportunity.
