DJ & Marshall's Dream

Upon arrival in Baltimore, DJ and Marshall were greeted by the amazing staff at the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts Baltimore. The hotel staff went above and beyond by preparing a special welcome including some amazing gifts for the boys, their parents, and even pup, Bronco!

For dinner, the dream team headed to Italian Disco where beautiful Cubs and Orioles decorations had been set up around the restaurant just for our Dreamers. They even created “The DJ,” a special pizza with oranges on it, because DJ loves oranges on his pizza!

After a relaxing morning at the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts Baltimore pool on day two, the boys and their wonderful parents headed over to the The Babe Ruth Birthplace Museum. Here, they were given an exclusive tour by the Executive Director, who pulled many special artifacts for the boys to touch with white gloves, including the Lombardi trophy, a Super Bowl ring, and lots of incredible Maryland sports history items!

Then, they headed over to Camden Yards, where they were given custom jerseys and goodie bags thanks to the amazing Orioles Community team. The family headed over to tour Eutaw Street where everyone was excited by seeing all of the homerun markers. After, they were taken down to batting practice for both teams, where they met all their favorite players, including Cody Bellinger! The boys were then interviewed by the team media groups and were beaming the entire time.

The radio calls are Marshall’s favorite part of the game, so after batting practice, the boys were taken to the broadcast booth! They met both the Chicago Cubs and Baltimore Orioles Radio Announcers with MASN and Marquee Sports Network, and were even able to call some home runs. Going, going, gone!

Before gametime, the dream team headed to their seats where Dream Leader, Noelle, a Baltimore native and Orioles superfan, taught everyone how to keep score. The dream ended with the boys getting a spotlight on the Jumbotron, which was their favorite part of the night!

Day three started out with a trip to the National Aquarium, where the boys were taken into a VIP Training Enrichment Session. Here, they got to see dolphins and even throw ice cubes to them!The day continued with a visit to Nick’s Fish House – Baltimore , where the amazing staff gifted DJ & Marshall a tshirt and some goodies! Noelle, Dream Leader and Baltimore native, even taught the boys how to crack crabs.

After lunch, the boys headed back to the hotel and enjoyed some rest at the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts Baltimore pool, before heading out to grab some yummy dessert at Zoes Just Dezzerts. This small business was created to employ those who live with autism and/or are neurodivergent.

The day ended at the final game of the Chicago Cubs vs Baltimore Orioles series, where the Chicago Cubs swept. This incredible family will never forget the amazing memories they made on this dream!
