The San Diego Padres Foundation is dedicated to improving lives throughout the greater San Diego and Baja community by working hand-in-hand with organizations that share our vision. The Foundation makes a positive impact in the region’s overall quality of life by prioritizing health, education and fitness, particularly for those in underserved communities. Through its considerable contributions of financial resources, game tickets, memorabilia and promotion, the Padres Foundation elevates the impact of valuable community organizations such as:

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.
The San Diego Padres, in conjunction with the Padres Foundation, are hosting Dinner on the Diamond, presented by Sycuan Casino Resort, on Wednesday, July 6. The unforgettable evening will be highlighted by a seated dinner with tables hosted by Padres players, coaches and alumni, a cocktail hour, live entertainment, and a live auction with the opportunity to bid on unique, one-of-a kind items. All proceeds benefit the Padres Foundation.
Fans can purchase Padres Foundation 50/50 raffle tickets for a chance to win 50% of the raffle jackpot each home game! The other 50% will support Padres Foundation community initiatives. Tickets may be purchased at raffle kiosks located on each level of Petco Park or from roaming raffle sales representatives. Raffle tickets are on sale from the time gates open until the end of the sixth inning. Participants must be 18 years or older to play.
The Padres Foundation annually conducts a garage sale of unique finds such as jerseys, bats, caps, game-worn items, and other memorabilia. This sale occurs in conjunction with the Padres' annual FanFest.
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.
The club annually supports over 1,200 organizations by providing team memorabilia, autographed items, game tickets and promotion for charity auctions, raffles, special events, etc. We respectfully request that due to the high volume, all requests much be received six weeks prior to the event.
Commemorate a special occasion by displaying a message on the Petco Park right field LED board during a Padres home game and support a great cause, the Padres Foundation.
