The Baltimore Ravens are known for what happens on Sundays, but some of the organization’s most meaningful work takes place far away from football fields. For years, they have invested heavily in the communities that support them. Recently, they recognized an individual whose contributions often go unnoticed outside of their neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces.
They did so by announcing their 2026 Touchdown for Teachers recipient. That honor belongs to Harper’s Choice Middle School educator Ebony Dixon.

The recognition shines a spotlight on a profession that rarely receives the attention it deserves. While players, coaches, and teams often dominate headlines, teachers help shape future generations every day, creating lasting impacts that extend far beyond the classroom.
The Ravens remain committed to their community
The Ravens’ connection to Baltimore extends well beyond the walls of the Under Armour Performance Center and M&T Bank Stadium. Over the years, the organization has consistently supported educational initiatives, charitable causes, and community programs throughout the region. The Touchdown for Teachers program is another example of that commitment, allowing the franchise to recognize educators who have made exceptional contributions to their students and schools.
By selecting Dixon as this year’s recipient, the Ravens are celebrating not only her accomplishments but also the important role educators play in communities across Maryland. It’s a well-deserved honor.
Professional sports franchises often serve as pillars within their cities, and the Ravens have long embraced that responsibility. While winning football games remains the organization’s primary objective, recognizing community leaders helps reinforce the bond between the team and its fan base.
