AT HOME VIRTUAL CELEBRATION
For those unable to attend, Wonder Boxes will bring the magic home.
Holiday Heroes will be celebrated in three very special ways this year. First, in accordance with California guidelines, we will welcome vaccinated guests ages 12+ and guests 12 and under attending with a vaccinated adult outdoors (weather permitting) at Oracle Park for a magical evening of in-person activities to raise spirits as we raise funds. (This will be a masked event, with proof of vaccination required.) Next, for those who choose not to attend in person, we will be sending you Holiday Heroes Wonder Boxes filled with sleigh-full of goodies and treats. Finally, our 2021 goal is to bring joy and to raise spirits for 300 underserved children either through delivery of Be-A-Hero boxes or attendance at Holiday Heroes.
When: Tuesday, December 7, 2021 at 5:30 PM
Where: Outside at Oracle Park for holiday cheer and merriment (health regulations permitting)*
Attire: Festive holiday attire
Who: Vaccinated kids (12+), teens and adults and unvaccinated kids under 12 who are attending with a vaccinated adult will join us at Oracle Park (this will be a masked event, with proof of vaccination required.). And additional guests in the Bay Area and beyond can celebrate with Wonder Boxes and Be·A·Hero Boxes.
Why: To make spirits bright while raising funds for at-risk children and their families
Ages 12 and over must be vaccinated*
Those attending from home can order a Wonder Box full of holiday fun!
Send a Be-A-Hero Box to an at-risk child
Did your Wonder Box arrive?
Please try to contain your excitement, and wait until our virtual event on Tuesday, December 8, 2020 at 5pm* to open your box. We will be sending an email to you with a link to the event!
If you would like to share that feeling of joy, consider donating a Be-A-Hero Box which will deliver festive crafts and goodies to an underserved child PLUS the box includes essential items that will make the holiday season brighter for their entire family.

So how do you get in on the festive fun of Holiday Heroes?
You can experience the magic of Holiday Heroes in person at Oracle Park (vaccinated individuals ages 12+ and kids under 12 who are unvaccinated but attending with a vaccinated adult – proof of vaccination required at our fully masked event) or order your own Wonder Box (one per child). You can also have the chance to sponsor an underserved child’s attendance at Holiday Heroes or donate Be-A-Hero Box(es) to a child/family in need so they can share in the magic this holiday season.
Each magical box will be stuffed like a stocking with goodies and games, so get ready to unwrap some holiday spirit! Donated Be-A-Hero boxes will also contain essential items and gift cards to make the season bright for underserved children and their families.
Our 2021 goal is to bring joy and to raise spirits for 300 underserved children either through delivery of be-a-hero boxes or attendance at Holiday Heroes.

There With Care
We believe all kids deserve a chance to just be kids. We encourage youth to laugh hard, grow tall, and dream big through access to sports, after school programs, health care services, and exceptional experiences.
Our goal is to send 300 BE·A·HERO BOXES to underserved children—and to raise spirits, while we raise funds!
Holiday Heroes is a long standing smile-filled and magical experience for children and adults.
This year, we’re bringing holiday joy in-person and at home to raise critically-needed funds for children and their families who are in crisis.
