The A's will also be raffling off a custom-made autographed quilt; raffle tickets for the quilt are $5 each. The fundraising table will be set up behind section 120.
Yong-Sung Leal first pitch: A's fan Yong-Sung Leal will throw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Monday, Aug. 22 game. The 31-year-old Good Samaritan stopped an attempted kidnapping on July 28 in San Leandro and potentially saved the life of a 23-year-old woman.

Green Stampede Homework Club: On select games throughout the season, elementary school students will visit the Coliseum to receive help with their homework from tutors and aides.
