Angels Baseball Foundation Kids Holiday Party
Each year, the Angels Baseball Foundation
aims to make the holiday season brighter for
underprivileged kids and families by hosting a
Holiday Party for various non-profit organizations
in the Southern California area. During the 2025
event at Angel Stadium, over 600 kids and family
members were able to walk through a winter UNDER THE HALO
wonderland at the stadium, dinner, activities and
games to play. Attendees also went sledding on
real snow in the outfield. Children in attendance
received Angels hats, promotional items, holiday
crafts, and at the end of the night, each child received a toy from Santa, along with a pair of pajamas.
Angels AVID 8th Grade Standout Award
The Angels 8th Grade AVID Scholarship,
entering its 21st year, was founded in 2006 by the
Angels Baseball Foundation in conjunction with
the Orange County Department of Education
and non-profit organization Advancement Via
Individual Determination (AVID). A total of 137
outstanding students in Orange County have
been awarded $4,000-$10,000 as a one-time
lump-sum college scholarship. Funds are held
for the scholars in a trust until they graduate from high school and are accepted into an accredited
university. As part of the program, the Angels Baseball Foundation also donates laptops annually to
over 60 nominees in Orange County for their exceptional achievements.
Angels College Scholarship
Since its inception in 2016, the Angels Baseball Foundation has awarded
four-year scholarships to 205 exceptional high school seniors from the
Orange County and Los Angeles area. The Angels College Scholarship
funds are applied to tuition, room & board, textbooks, and more. Scholars
are selected based on merit, leadership, strong academic performance,
financial need, and the desire to achieve a higher education. Funding
is awarded for a maximum of four years with the expectation that a
bachelor’s degree will be obtained during this period. The Angels Baseball
Foundation takes the time to assess the individual needs of each student
once other scholarships and grants have been applied. The Foundation strives to empower students to
overcome adversity and develop skills that allow them to achieve their career and long-term goals.
