Community Events

Funds raised through the Angels 5K & Fun Run assist in continuing the efforts to improve the lives of children in our community. Participants have the opportunity to run or walk the race course, which goes through the stadium, behind home plate, and concludes in front of the Home Plate Gate. 

Those who partake in the walk/run receive a commemorative t-shirt and a medal upon completion. After the race, participants are invited to explore the Health Expo and pick up resources and goodies from various vendors.

Angels' wives and girlfriends and members of the Anaheim Firefighter's Association host the "Fill the Boot" fundraiser to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) of Orange County and Riverside County.

Each year, the Angels select elementary and high schools for the Adopt-A-School program. Awarded schools receive a $2,500 grant to go toward their baseball and softball programs. As part of the Adopt-A-School program, students receive an Angels school supplies pack. Additionally, each school is given an allotment of tickets for a future game to be used for incentive programs.

Every holiday season, the Angels Baseball Foundation, the Angels, and Angels Radio AM830 aim to make the holiday season brighter for more than 250 underprivileged kids by hosting a Holiday Party. At the end of the night, each child receives a pair of pajamas, a toy, and warm holiday wishes from the Angels. In 2018, the Holiday Party came back to Angel Stadium, where the kids were able to hear from Angels players and alumni, run the bases on the field, and make ornaments and cards to give their families.

The Angels Baseball Foundation award is a four-year scholarship that helps a select group of individuals attend the higher learning institutions of their choice. These individuals are selected based on their academic achievements, community involvement, and desire to achieve a higher education. Another class of Angels Scholars will graduate from High School this year and will receive their scholarships once accepted into college, along with a new laptop generously donated by Toshiba.

The Angels Baseball Foundation teams up with Bank of America to host the Bank of America Orange County Little League® Challengers Classic. With help from Angels players, coaches, and alumni, more than 900 children, most of whom are living with physical and mental challenges, receive the chance to play baseball on a major league field at Angel Stadium.

Staff members from the Angels and local partners distribute back-to-school items to over 500 kids from Boys & Girls Clubs of Anaheim, Santa Ana, Tustin, Westminster, and the Harbor Area. Each child receives socks, shoes, underwear, pants, a shirt, a pair of shoes, a school kit, and an Angels hat.

In an effort to promote the importance of literacy, the Angels Baseball Foundation and the Literacy Project Foundation team up for the "Readers in the Outfield" program. Over 100 second graders and their Master Teachers of Literacy show off their literacy skills by playing games with Angels alumni. 

The Angels and Make-A-Wish Foundation join forces to help grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. Throughout the season, the Angels are pleased to host Wish Kids and their families at the ballpark, by offering an experience like no other. Angels Baseball is proud to provide an opportunity for these individuals to remove themselves from the difficult times they are facing.
