San Francisco, CA. ~ There was a full team on the field at AT&T Park recently with nine kids from underserved neigh- borhoods across the Santa Rosa region, who got a once in a lifetime chance to play in the big leagues with the San Francisco Giants. This special occasion on the AT&T ball field was made possible through a program called “Kids Take the Field” with Bank of America

and Valley of the Moon Chil- dren’s Foundation – an organi- zation that helps create a safe haven for children in need by providing support and educa- tional services.


Giants players like Brandon Crawford and Joe Panik joined the junior league players, who received autographed base- balls as well as tickets to at- tend future Giants games for themselves, their family and


friends.


As part of Kids Take the Field, Bank of America invites a local nonprofit that serves youth and families to take the field before Giants home games, creating incredible memories for years to come for these kids and their families.
