The Baltimore Ravens are teaming with the technology giant Leidos to spread awareness about the opioid epidemic.
Starting with Thursday's preseason game and continuing through the regular season, Leidos and the Ravens will donate $50 for every tackle toward the purchase of drug disposal packets and supporting Baltimore-area nonprofits involved in the fight. For every interception and forced fumble, they'll donate another $1,000 each.
“We are pleased to partner with Leidos to bring more public attention to the opioid crisis across our country,” team president Dick Cass said in a statement. “We are hopeful that the drug disposal packets being purchased by Leidos and the Ravens will make for safer and healthier communities.
