                         The  Angels are  proud to support  many  local charitable  organizations
                        and community groups throughout Orange County and the Greater Los
                        Angeles region. Through the combined efforts of the Angels and the Angels
                        Baseball Foundation, the team has been able to impact many people in our
                        community, specifically children, with life-changing opportunities. Among
                        the Angels’ notable beneficiaries are the Angels Nike RBI Program, the Boys
                        &  Girls  Clubs of  Central  Orange Coast, Anaheim Family YMCA, the AVID
                        Program and Southern California Little Leagues.
                         The  Angels have  been given the  opportunity  to serve  more  than 5,000
                        organizations, providing them with positive experiences and resources, as
        well as allowing children to experience the remarkable game of baseball during each regular season.

        ANGELS BASEBALL FOUNDATION:
         The Angels Baseball Foundation was established in 2004 under Arte and Carole Moreno. Together
        with the Los Angeles Angels, the two organizations have contributed more than $25 million in value
        toward local causes. Each year, the Angels Baseball Foundation awards community organizations
        with grants to benefit the individual needs and to support programs that impact our youths. The
        Foundation focuses on improving education, healthcare, arts and sciences, as well as community
        related youth programs and military engagement throughout the region. Below is a glimpse of some
        of the Club programs supported by ABF:
        Adopt-A-School, presented by O.C. Waste and Recycling
         In 2025, the Angels will select their
        17th class of adopted elementary
        schools for the Adopt-A-School
        program. As a part of the Adopt-A-
        School program, each student receives
        an Angels gift and each school will be
        given an allotment of tickets to be used
        in their school incentive programs.
        Each year, Angels Baseball Foundation
        presents each elementary school with
        a $2,000 grant towards the education
        program of their choice. The Angels
        will host an Art Contest again in 2025
        during Black History Month to help students learn more about baseball’s history and the Negro
        Leagues, as well as an Up-Cycle Challenge around Earth Day to encourage kids to take care of the
        environment.
                                           Angels 5K & Fun Run presented by Lexus
                                            The Foundation’s Annual  5K & Fun Run  is
                                           scheduled during the summer months of the
                                           season. Last year, nearly 5,000 Angels fans
                                           participated in the  5K  & Fun Run races on
                                           the course around Angel Stadium. Participants
                                           earn a commemorative shirt and medal to
                                           commemorate the occasion while also
                                           receiving  the  opportunity  to pick  up goodies
                                           and resources at the Race Expo. The 2024 event
                                           raised over  $175,000  for  the  Angels Baseball
        Foundation. The 15th annual event is scheduled to take place on June 21, 2025 before the Angels
        host the Houston Astros.
