The Orioles will host an auction later today benefiting Shannon’s Fund. Fans attending the game may bid on memorabilia using the MLB.com Ballpark app from 5 p.m.-8:30 p.m. Auction memorabilia will be available to view on the lower concourse by Gate E.

Shannon’s Fund was created in memory of Shannon Obaker, the team’s Director of Community Outreach who bravely fought cancer for over a year before passing away in 2007 at age 29. Shannon’s Fund is administered by the University of Maryland Medical Center with the funds donated to patients and their family members as need arises to assist with the general expenses associated with the treatment process, including hospital parking, alternate housing, food costs and household bills.

One featured item in the auction will be Orioles scout Ryan Powell’s custom-made, MLB-certified bat that was autographed by the entire 2016 Orioles team. This bat was used in honor of Powell’s mother, Wendy Powell, who was diagnosed with brain cancer in June 2015.

Ryan played in a Single-A spring training game on March 29 at Twin Lakes Park in Sarasota to fulfill his mother’s wish of seeing him play in one last game and to serve as an inspiration to her in her fight against cancer. Powell will throw out the ceremonial first pitch as part of tonight’s pregame ceremonies.
