We’ve waited all year for this one.
The Best of Baltimore issue is turning 50—and we’re going all out. Our biggest anniversary of the iconic issue deserves an equally iconic venue, so we’re rolling out the red (well, purple) carpet on the Club Level of M&T Bank Stadium.
This isn’t just a party. This is gold-drenched indulgence. Drinks flowing like waterfalls. Beats that bruise your ribcage. Food that awakens the senses. Glittering skyline views. A night too memorable for your camera roll to contain.
🏆 Guests of Honor: 2025 Best of Baltimore Editors’ Picks, Readers’ Choice Winners, and YOU!

ABOUT THE FAMILY TREE

OPENING DOORS TO A SAFE, STABLE & NURTURING FAMILY
The Family Tree leads Maryland in preventing child abuse, connects caring communities, and builds strong families.  We are committed to ensuring every Maryland family has the tools to raise children to become healthy, productive and competent adults. We do this with the help of 50 professional staff, as well as 480 volunteers who donate over 11,200 hours of their time each year.

DIGGING DEEP: WHY THE FAMILY TREE EXISTS
Child abuse effects over 60,000 children a year, and it is an issue that effects families at all socioeconomic levels. Child Abuse is a major public health issue, but the good news is that it can be prevented, and we all have a role to play!

RAISING FAMILIES UP
Each year, The Family Tree provides over 30,000 individuals with research-based education and resources that empower families and provide support to professionals and communities. Our services range from a single conversation to a supportive relationship that can last a lifetime.
