Ravens Roost #41

Welcome to Ravens Roost #41 of York, Pennsylvania (the first original Ravens Roost). This organization was founded in 1997 by a small group of people who wanted to follow and cheer for the Baltimore Ravens football team when they arrived in Baltimore. Now over 100 members strong, we are a chapter of a larger group known as the Council of Baltimore Ravens Roosts that has over 2,500 members like ourselves and promotes football in Baltimore.

As a group we have many organized events and also raise money for charity. Our current charity is Access York, to which we donate several times during the year. We have tried to develop our group as a family organization and plan our events so that your entire family may be involved.

	vs Our Tailgate Party at the Cove on Super Sunday 2001 brought out 82 ravenous fans to watch the Ravens win the Super Bowl. Thanks to manager Brian Downie for a great buffet and for his hospitality thoughout the season. (Click on Super Bowl 35 for party photos.) This year the Cove again showed the Super Bowl on their big screen.      vs
	Fundraising We hold an annual raffle for a set of two Ravens season tickets. This is our largest fundraising event. The tickets are sold during the early summer and the winner is awarded the tickets in early July in time for the start of the pre-season. Last year we raised a record amount for our charity - Access Shelter of York. The 2003 Season Tickets winner drawn at the Cove Restaurant on June 28 was Shaun McKee. Terry Ruby was the winner of the signed Ray Lewis jersey. The Roost also has a second fundraiser during the winter. This is our pizza sale usually held near the holidays or close to the Super Bowl. This year a record number of pizzas were sold by roost members.
