Strike Out Fear Day at the Giants

The foundation hosted a “Strike Out Fear Day” with the Giants on May 14, 2017 at AT&T Park to bring awareness to the community about our work and how to support people diagnosed with cancer.  We produced a public service announcement video which played on the JumboTron and volunteers staffed the Giants’ Community Clubhouse booth before and during the game to talk one-on-one with fans and distribute foundation apparel.
