The Baltimore Nighthawks are a women's American football team in the Women's Football Alliance . The Nighthawks played their inaugural game in Brooklandville at Martin D. Tullai Field (adjacent to St. Paul's School ). The Nighthawks played the remainder of their home season at the Baltimore Lutheran School in Towson .
The Baltimore Nighthawks support several charitable organizations including Healthcare for the Homeless, Special Olympics Maryland through the annual Polar Bear Plunge, various breast cancer groups, and the Central Maryland Girl Scouts. On March 21, 2009, the Nighthawks made women's football history when they hosted the first Pink Ribbon Bowl . The goal was to raise awareness about breast cancer and introduce professional women's tackle football to a broader audience. A portion of the proceeds benefited the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation for breast cancer research. The Baltimore Nighthawks have supported Healthcare for the Homeless since 2009 by volunteering for the Chocolate Affair.
