Our 2021 'Baltimore GameChangers' issue has arrived—and this year, it's more important than ever to celebrate the people who devote their energy, time, and talent to making this city better. 🎉

The challenges of this past year didn’t allow a respite for those who serve others. The ever-present issues of food insecurity, financial stress, homelessness, addiction, lack of education, and so many others were exacerbated by the pandemic. And that leads us to this year’s GameChangers—those who ran towards the fire, putting themselves at risk to serve their community.

Subscribers will receive a copy of Baltimore GameChangers along with their September issue. This special publication will not be sold on newsstands, so be sure to order yours today at bmag.co/gc2021.
