WHY:              2008 marks the 18th anniversary of the Golf Classic, which has consistently been the largest annual fundraiser of the Giants Community Fund, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that uses baseball as a forum to encourage youngsters and their families to live healthy, productive lives. The Fund administers the Junior Giants program, a free summer baseball league for underserved youths 5 – 18 years old throughout Northern and Central California, Nevada, and Oregon. Each league teaches the fundamentals of baseball while providing the players with important training about values, education, and working with others. Junior Giants reaches out to deserving girls and boys who may not have opportunity to play organized baseball – those in inner cities, rural areas, and those who are disabled.

Photo opportunities and interviews at the tournament will be available upon request.
