Officials with LinkedIn Local Baltimore, a monthly community-based event series, donated $20,000 to James Bond, president of Living Classrooms Foundation, during a check presentation Wednesday at the Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Park, 1417 Thames St., in Fells Point.

LinkedIn Local Baltimore is a monthly community-based event series with all proceeds benefiting Living Classrooms Foundation, a Baltimore-Washington based educational organization.

Proceeds from LinkedIn Local events in 2019 will support hands-on environmental STEM education for Baltimore students at Living Classrooms’ Masonville Cove Environmental Education Campus.

Established in 2009 in south Baltimore, Masonville Cove is the nation’s first Urban Wildlife Refuge Partnership, and home to a state-of-the-art green building nature center, a canoe, and kayak launch, a fishing pier, a bird sanctuary, and beautiful waterfront public trails.

The campus acts as a gateway to connect underserved communities to the outdoors and the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem through environmental education focused on the local watershed.
