As Adam Jones prepares to play what will likely be his last series in an Orioles uniform, the team’s charitable foundation, Jones and his wife, Audie, have jointly donated $150,000 for several Baltimore-area nonprofit organizations, the team announced Thursday.
Over the past six years, the Orioles and Jones’ family have each donated a total of $225,000 to the six causes, combining for $450,000 total.
Living Classrooms, which serves more than 25,000 children and adults in the Baltimore area each year, specializing in students coming from high-risk environments, will receive $100,000. Out of that donation, $90,000 will be used to create a scholarship fund for underprivileged youth and the remaining $10,000 will be used for school supplies in underserved local schools.
