Field Refurbishments

Refurbishing local fields helps provide quality, safe spaces for kids to play the game we love.

Gilead Sciences awarded the Oakland A’s Community Fund a $50,000 grant to support the Club’s field refurbishment at Raimondi Field in West Oakland. Improvements are set to begin in August 2020.

The Oakland A’s Community Fund was also named an award recipient of the Scotts® Field Refurbishment Program, an initiative from the Scotts Company LLC (Scotts) and Major League Baseball that awards modern, playable youth baseball and softball field refurbishments to four communities of need within the United States. Gilead Science’s grant will support additional refurbishment projects at Raimondi Park.

Race Around the Bases invites youngsters 14 and under onto the field after most Sunday day games to run the same bases that the A's players do. A's mascot Stomper will be on the field to cheer on the runners as they round the bases. Each participant will receive an A's Fitness Sluggers cheer card as they leave the field.
