Padres fans are generous supporters of the Padres Foundation through their support of the new DINNER ON THE DIAMOND Gala, game-day 50/50 Raffle, Shirts Off Their Backs opportunity, Padres Online Auctions, Foundation Garage Sale and many others.
Fans have the opportunity to win game-worn jerseys off the backs of a Padres player or coach. Proceeds benefit Padres Foundation youth baseball programs. This will be the 22nd year the San Diego Padres have provided the "Shirts Off Their Backs" opportunity for fans. Over the years, Padres' fan support has raised more than $600,000 for Padres Foundation programs and initiatives supporting children's recreation, health and education.
The Padres Foundation Online Auctions feature game-used items, jerseys, bats, caps, locker tags and baseballs, and other special items and experiences. The online auction typically runs Opening Day through December, and items change approximately every week, so check back often!
The Padres Charity Ticket Program provides complimentary tickets to nonprofit organizations that serve disadvantaged children who would otherwise not be able to attend a baseball game. The Padres are proud to have again teamed up with Major League Baseball's "Commissioner's Community Initiative" and "Players Give Back" to donate complimentary tickets to these deserving nonprofit organizations. The Padres are proud to work with Tickets For Kids to assist with the distribution of our charity tickets. If your nonprofit or youth organization would like to apply for tickets, please email [email protected] for more information.
