Orioles to host annual Birdland Classic

The Baltimore Orioles will hold their Sixth Annual OriolesREACH Birdland Golf Classic Feb. 22, at The Founders Club, in Sarasota. 

Registration for the event, which will tee off with a shotgun start at 12:30 p.m., is now open. This year’s classic will feature lunch, a silent auction and the opportunity to play a round of golf with current and former Orioles players and coaches. 

Several levels of sponsorship opportunities also are available, including MVP sponsor packages, which include a foursome with the opportunity to select your Orioles playing partner, four infield box seats to a 2016 Orioles Spring Training game and more. 

Proceeds from the event will benefit the Miracle League of Manasota, an organization that provides an opportunity for everyone to play baseball, regardless of his or her ability. Since it’s inception, the Birdland Golf Classic has raised more than $150,000 for the Miracle League of Manasota.
