iConnect Generations Expo: Family Fun Event at Former Memorial Stadium GEDCO: A Growing Nonprofit in Baltimore City
Baltimore, MD – April 16, 2014 – With the official start of baseball season this month, the city
prepares to get rid of the winter blues with springtime activities. Fittingly, GEDCO, a local non-
profit, will hold its 2014 iConnect Generations Expo on Saturday, April 26 at the site of the former
Memorial Stadium (now called Stadium Place) from 10:00am to 3:00pm. The event invites youth,
parents, grandparents, and families of all ages to learn about health resources while also participat-
ing in fun activities and spending time with the community at large.
Highlights of this year’s iConnect Generations Expo feature intergenerational sports, health and
wellness screenings, support for care partners, Healthy Kids Day at the Harry & Jeanette Weinberg
Family Center Y, a resource fair, giveaways, food vendors, and much more. “We are so looking
forward to this year’s iConnect Generations Expo. We hope that the activities we have organized
and resources that we have gathered will benefit the needs of the community while also creating
many opportunities for fun,” said GEDCO CEO, Nichole Battle.
GEDCO is a nonprofit in North Baltimore that provides community, homeless and senior services,
and also contributes to real estate development in order to build caring and compassionate commu-
nities. GEDCO programs include Stadium Place, the Harry and Jeanette Weinberg Green House
Residences, and CARES Food Pantry.
