The Ravens throw a baby shower for 50 military parents-to-be

For the classroom

The Baltimore Ravens hosted a baby shower for 50 military parents-to-be. A baby shower is a party that sends parents home with supplies before a baby arrives. These parents are service members or their spouses, people connected to the military. Fifty is the number of parents-to-be the team gathered, not the number of babies already born. The football team used its event to outfit those families. The news is the shower and the count of people invited, not a promise about every military family in Maryland.
