A Big Hand for Some Big Hearts (September 26, 2016) Although the exact amount wasn’t disclosed, the largest gift in the history of Teach for America Baltimore was the reason for celebration at the Baltimore Museum of Art. It came from longtime TFA supporters, local philanthropists Robert E. Meyerhoff and Rheda Becker, rightfully the heroes of the night.
