People with Disabilities

Chase Field proudly attracts millions of fans each year! This success is not only due to being recognized as one of the most fan-friendly teams in all of sports but is because of the real commitment the Arizona Diamondbacks have to our culture of performance and excellence in every aspect of our operations both inside the ballpark and connections to the diverse communities we serve.

A critical part of ensuring our guests feel welcome and comfortable is our focus on ensuring a ballpark experience that is warm and welcoming to ALL. Understanding the needs of the various communities we serve, including people with varying abilities, is important to ensure we provide access and options for their time with us.

Additionally, we have partnered with this community to work with individuals who can help us better understand their needs and identify ways that we can be better partners to them outside of the ballpark. Toward that end, we have proudly invested millions of meaningful charitable dollars with this community and devoted countless volunteer hours.

We look forward to continuing or work to be the role model for fan experience and community leader for ALL!

Project 34

Project 34 was created by Arizona Diamondbacks Assistant Director of Player Personnel & Head of People with Disabilities TPRG, Cory Hahn. Cory experienced a life changing spinal injury while a freshman on the Arizona State University baseball team. Five years later he was selected with the D-backs’ 34th round pick in 2011, which now plays homage to Cory. Project 34 is devoted to those with spinal injuries, with a goal “to provide grants to people with spinal cord injuries to ease the financial burden that can accompany this type of injury.” Cory uses his platform to grow this foundation and facilitate awareness to help individuals living similar situations.

Diversibility Day

The newly themed Diversibility Day is a day of celebrating an important segment of fans. Understanding the needs of the various communities we serve, including people with varying abilities, is important to ensure we provide access and options for their time with us. This day offers a platform to highlight figures, organizations, and other prominent entities in the community that promote awareness, support, and inspiration. Hailey Dawson, a widely recognized figure for the diverse community, was a prominent figure in the 2019 celebration. Famous for throwing the first pitch of games in all 30 MLB stadiums with her robotic hand, she is a symbol of overcoming handicaps and challenges while living a fulfilling life. Make sure to attend this year’s Diversibility Day!

Special Olympics Arizona

Special Olympics Arizona is an effort to raise charitable funds and create an important community conversation about the growing number of Special Olympics Arizona athletes and student athletes from the Special Olympics Unified Sports program. These athletes are benefiting from the innovative, inclusive, and inspiring programs of Special Olympics Arizona. The D-backs host Special Olympics athletes at various events throughout the season and will continue to support the program for the foreseeable future!

Donations

In 2011, Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation donated a grand total of $1 million to the Blind Children Vision Center, which is one of the proudest moments of gratuity and philanthropy for our franchise. Since 1998, we have donated over $5 million to charitable organizations: organizations that help individuals against illness, injuries, and other difficulties. Financial donations are a prominent way of aiding communal issues for these demographics, and we take pride in being a compassionate leader for goodwill in our local communities and to all people who indulge in our brand!
