Cindy Layton

Taking a page out of Baltimore football history, our 2024 Ravens Fan of the Year can tell us a thing or two about generations of Baltimore football! Baltimore, Maryland native Cynthia Layton (aka "Dr. Cheer") started her journey at Memorial Stadium as a Colts cheerleader from 1972 to 1983 but now she cheers for the Baltimore Ravens in Section 136 as a PSL Owner!

When she's not in the stands encouraging her section to be Ravens "cheerleaders", Cindy often spends her free time participating in many charity events and charity golf tournaments but has a lot more to be proud of. Her list of accolades starts with having a PhD in Psychology, but extends to being a charter member of Ravens Roost 75, a member of the NFL Fan Pro Football Hall of Fame and NFL Alumni (Baltimore Chapter). Now, she can add "Baltimore Ravens Fan of the Year" to her list! If you ask Cindy about the Ravens, she'll likely say "If I could, I'd still be down there next to Baltimore's Marching Ravens, cheering on my team! That's my team! My city!"
