Local Ravens fans can predict the final score of a Baltimore victory for a chance to win $500 cash—or more—during every Ravens game of the 2026 season.
HARFORD COUNTY, MD — September 10, 2026 — Baltimore Ravens fans have another reason to get excited on game day this season. <a href="https://hghmechanical.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">HGH Mechanical, Inc.</a>, in partnership with <a href="https://purplefridays.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Ravens fan community PurpleFridays.com</a>, is launching a season-long “Guess the Final Score” Contest, giving fans the opportunity to win $500 cash—or more—during every Baltimore Ravens game of the 2026 season.
The concept is simple: before each Ravens game, fans will be invited to predict the final score of a Baltimore Ravens victory. Fans submit their predictions in the comments of the official weekly contest post on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HGHMechanical" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">HGH Mechanical Facebook page</a>.
A correct prediction could earn the winner at least $500 in cash, making every Ravens game an opportunity for local fans to turn their football knowledge into a substantial cash prize.
<h3>Ravens vs. Colts Kicks Off the Contest</h3>
The promotion begins with the Baltimore Ravens vs. Indianapolis Colts matchup this Sunday.
Fans can visit the HGH Mechanical Facebook page, locate the official contest post and leave their prediction for the final score—provided they are predicting a Ravens victory.
The contest will continue throughout the entire 2026 Baltimore Ravens season, with a new opportunity to play for every Ravens game.
<h3>“We Don’t Have Sydney Sweeney, But We Do Have $500 Cash”</h3>
The campaign is kicking off with a lighthearted social media theme:
“We don’t have Sydney Sweeney, but we do have $500 CASH (or more!) for the winner of our ‘Guess the Final Score Contest’ for every Baltimore Ravens game in 2026!”
The promotion brings together two longtime local brands: HGH Mechanical, a Maryland heating and cooling company serving the Baltimore region for more than 30 years, and PurpleFridays.com, an independent online community created for Baltimore Ravens fans.
The goal is to make the contest more than a giveaway by creating a weekly gathering place where local Ravens fans can make predictions and enjoy some friendly competition throughout the season.
<h3>Supporting Baltimore—and the Ravens Flock</h3>
HGH Mechanical is sponsoring the promotion as part of its commitment to the Baltimore-area community.
“Baltimore loves its Ravens, and we wanted to create something that gives fans another reason to have fun every game day,” said Phil Hobbs, one of the owners of HGH Mechanical. “There’s no purchase necessary to make a prediction. Pick a Ravens win, tell us the final score, and you could walk away with $500 cash—or more.”
PurpleFridays.com will help promote the contest throughout the season and encourage Ravens fans throughout Baltimore, Harford County and surrounding communities to participate.
<h3>How to Participate</h3>
Fans should look for the official weekly “Guess the Final Score” post on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/HGHMechanical" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">HGH Mechanical’s Facebook page</a>, follow the instructions provided with that week’s contest, and submit their prediction in the comments before the applicable entry deadline.
Each prediction must forecast a Baltimore Ravens victory to qualify.
Official eligibility requirements, deadlines, winner determination, tie procedures and complete contest rules should be consulted before entering.

Bringing Trusted Care Back To The Former Pet+ER Location

VivaVets Animal Hospital

Urgent Care Returns to Former Pet+ER Location: VivaVets Animal Hospital Now Open Bridging the gap between your family vet and the ER with Sunday hours, same day appointments available, and transparent pricing for Columbia pets. VivaVets Animal Hospital has officially launched in the iconic facility, but with a new mission. Founded by Dr. Kanwal Sharma, VivaVets is an independent, veterinarian-owned practice specializing in Veterinary Urgent Care and Lifestyle Medicine. The "Middle Ground" Your Pet Needs Most pet owners know the frustration of a Friday night ear infection or a Sunday morning paw injury. Your regular vet is closed, but the 24/7 Emergency Room warns of a six-hour wait and a four-figure bill. VivaVets was built to solve this exact problem. By focusing on "urgent but stable" cases—such as minor wounds, toxins, vomiting, and infections—VivaVets offers a faster, more affordable alternative to the traditional ER. What to Expect: • Sunday Availability: Open 10 AM – 8 PM (Closed Wed/Sat) • Same Day Appointments: No long wait hours for urgent care needs. • ER Technology, Local Feel: Advanced in-house diagnostics, state of the art digital X-rays, and ultrasound paired with a warm, independent clinic atmosphere. • Specialty Care: The hospital hosts in-person cardiology clinics every other Friday, eliminating the need for long-distance specialty travel for Howard County residents. • Lifestyle and Lifestage Medicine &amp; Beyond: In addition to urgent care, VivaVets offers life-stage plans to keep your pets healthy from puppyhood through their senior years. "We aren't just a clinic in a building; we are a part of this neighborhood," says Dr. Sharma. "We wanted to bring trusted, timely care back to this location so that pet parents never have to choose between their schedule and their pet's health." Visit VivaVets Today! VivaVets is now accepting new patients. Whether you need a wellness checkup or immediate care for a sick pet, the team is ready to help.
