        Back-2-School Event
         In July  2024,  the  Angels Baseball Foundation hosted a
        Back-2-School Event at Angel Stadium. Over 800 children
        attended the event in which each student received Angels
        t-shirts, hoodies, new shoes and school supplies. Everyone
        in attendance  had the  opportunity to walk  on the  field
        and visit the dugout, while also receiving necessary items
        for the upcoming school year. In addition, each family left
        with a bag  of fresh groceries and produce,  courtesy  of
        Second Harvest Food Bank.
