A Night to Remember at Camden Yards

Two Crossroads residents had an unforgettable night on August 1 at a sold-out Savannah Bananas game at Camden Yards, thanks to Arrow volunteer and Shifting Gears founder, Diana Liberto.

Diana and her family were honored on the field as a recognized foster family, and she invited two youth to join the celebration. They appeared live on ESPN, met the players and even had the chance to meet Baltimore Ravens linebacker Kyle Van Noy, who presented the award to Diana.

“What made the night so powerful was that Kyle Van Noy shared he was adopted through foster care,” an Arrow spokesperson said. “His words of encouragement and kindness left the youth feeling truly valued and inspired.”

According to the Savannah Bananas website, their nonprofit initiative Bananas Foster celebrates the foster care community by providing families with unique game day experiences and opportunities to be honored on the field.

The Savanna Bananas are committed to educating and inspiring others to get involved all while celebrating those involved in the foster care community.

Thanks to Diana, Kyle Van Noy and the Savannah Bananas, two youth walked away with more than just a once-in-a-lifetime memory, but a spark of hope that will stay with them forever.
