Fund a Player or a Glove!
We are sponsoring 100 kids (ages 9-12) from the Ravenswood Little League and Junior Giants programs to attend a 2-hour baseball clinic led by Menlo High School Varsity Coach, David Trujillo.
These kids LOVE baseball but many don’t own their own gloves and haven’t had any outside coaching opportunities. We are hoping this clinic enables them to head into the Spring Little League season with new skills, new confidence AND a new baseball glove!
Donate $150 and we will deliver a new glove. $350 funds a player to attend the Clinic.

Holiday Heroes is full of surprises – prepare to be delighted!
Celebrate this season of giving with an event that brings the joy of the holidays to you, your family, and to hundreds of other Bay Area children and their families who need a little help to make this season magical.
Holiday Heroes is an inclusive environment where children and families from every background enjoy once-in-a-lifetime moments together. Our event seeks to inspire, motivate and delight.
1/3 of our event attendees are sponsored families. For some, this will be their only celebration this holiday season, and the gifts they receive at our event will be the only ones they enjoy.

Holiday Heroes will be celebrated in three very special ways this year.
First, in order to prioritize the safety of our guests at our in-person event, we require all attendees ages 12+ to be vaccinated. Guests 5-11 can attend if they are vaccinated with at least one shot or provide a negative test, and guests under 5 can attend with proof of a negative test. For negative tests, we will accept PCR test taken within 72 hours of the event or antigen [rapid] test taken within 24 hours of the event. View details here.
Holiday Heroes will be outdoors (weather permitting) at Oracle Park for a magical evening of in-person activities to raise spirits as we raise funds.
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. you can enjoy At Home with … Holiday Heroes presented by Kaiser Permanente.
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 6, 2022 at 5:30 PM
Where: Outside at Oracle Park for holiday cheer and merriment
Attire: Festive holiday attire
Who: Anyone seeking a magical evening full of holiday fun!
Why: To make spirits bright while raising funds for at-risk children and their families. In addition to 1/3 of our event guests being sponsored families, with funds raised at Holiday Heroes, we will continue to create permanent play structures in the Bay Area as well as provide grants to local Bay Area organizations.
Ages 12 and over must be vaccinated*

Youth Community Service
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 500 UNDERSERVED KIDS to Holiday Heroes 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 to Oracle Park to raise critically-needed funds for children and their families who are in crisis.
