The San Francisco Giants and AT&T Mark 10-Year Anniversary of Community All-Star Grants

$500,000 has been awarded to Northern California and San Francisco Bay Area non-profits since 2005

The Giants and AT&T are celebrating the 10th anniversary of their Community All-Star program. Since 2005, the Giants and AT&T have awarded $10,000 grants, totaling half-a-million dollars, to non-profit organizations who best exemplify AT&T's and the Giants' shared values of community service. Grant recipients have included food banks, youth sports organizations, violence prevention groups, education partners, homeless agencies, children's advocates and many others providing essential programs and services to the San Francisco Bay Area and greater Northern California communities.

Each year, the grant recipients are honored at a dinner held at AT&T Park which is attended by Giants players and alumni and AT&T customers and executives. This year's grantees include the Say Hey Foundation; Athletes in Math Succeed; Generation Alive; Good Tidings Foundation; and St. Anthony's. Each of these organizations will receive a $10,000 grant and have a special connection to Giants alumni and players, including Hall of Famer Willie Mays and current Giants players Sergio Romo, Jeremy Affeldt, Ryan Vogelsong and Javier Lopez.

"Our partnership with AT&T allows the Giants to honor our mission of enriching our community through innovation and excellence both on and off the field. Our shared commitment to the community enables the Giants and AT&T to provide critical support to those most in need," said Larry Baer, Giants president and chief executive officer.

"At AT&T, we believe that businesses succeed when they are supported by strong, healthy communities," said Ken McNeely, president of AT&T California. "That's why we're honored and so pleased to have partnered with the San Francisco Giants for the past decade in supporting the Community All-Stars Program. Working together we're able to support incredible projects and organizations that change lives and strengthen the Bay Area."
