The Shannon Obaker Endowment Fund was recently established at the University of Maryland
Medical Center (UMMC) by the Orioles in memory of their loving Community Outreach Director,
Shannon Obaker. After battling cancer for over a year, Shannon passed away at age 29 in January
2007.
In addition to creating a lasting legacy in Shannon’s name, the fund’s main purpose is to provide financial assistance to patients and their families who may experience difficulties in paying for unexpected costs, such as parking, temporary lodging, food costs, prescriptions and other expenses.
