To celebrate his 19th and final season, CC Sabathia will host 52 youth from local Boys & Girls Clubs at Yankee games in each American League city this season, as well as one National League series. Groups will be invited to the first game of the last away series with all American League opponents, as well as at Oracle Park in San Francisco on April 26th, as a nod to Sabathia's Bay Area roots.

Growing up in Vallejo, Calif., the Boys & Girls Club offered Sabathia a safe place to go after school. The Club also provided him the opportunity to attend his first Major League Baseball game and to meet his hero, Oakland A's pitcher Dave Stewart. To show his gratitude to the organization and mentor children much like his former self, Sabathia and his wife Amber partnered with Boys & Girls Clubs of America, hosting a myriad of events throughout his career, such as holiday parties, baseball clinics and career panels.
"The Boys & Girls Club was a huge part of my life growing up and a major influence on where I am today," said Sabathia. "So many people at the organization touched my life and I'm excited to have them be a part of my final season. I hope by doing this that my legacy will inspire a new generation of youth to be unstoppable!"

The PitCCh In Foundation, which Sabathia and his wife Amber founded in 2008 enrich the lives of inner-city youth by raising their self-esteem through educational and athletic activities, will fund the season long program, providing transportation, tickets to the game, food vouchers, custom shirts and an on-field meet & greet with the World Champion and six-time All-Star.
