UNDER THE HALO

Going to Bat Against Breast Cancer
The Angels annually join Major League Baseball and
Susan G. Komen for the Cure on Mother’s Day to raise
awareness and funding for the fight against breast cancer.
Players, coaches and umpires throughout the league
support the cause by wearing pink wristbands and pink
ribbons on their uniforms. Many players also choose to
play with special pink bats on Mother’s Day and the Angels UNDER THE HALO
celebrate a breast cancer survivor on the field during the
pregame ceremony.
Father’s Day Home Run Challenge
The Angels and Major League Baseball are committed to the fight against prostate cancer. 2026
will mark the 27th year of the Home Run Challenge to raise money for the cure of prostate cancer
and will take place near Father’s Day weekend with events scheduled at stadiums across the nation.
Hospital Visits
Throughout the season, Angels players and
their significant others make visits to children’s
hospitals in the community to lift the spirits of
the patients and their families. The players and
coaches make special appearances to distribute
Angels items, sign autographs and spend time
with the children and their families.

Strike Force Visits
The Angels Strike Force is an interactive group
that contributes to fan experience at Angels
Baseball home games. In addition to their game
day presence, members of the Angels Strike Force
help with Angels community efforts by making
special appearances at various events. Some
of these appearances include Angels Nike RBI,
Angels Baseball Foundation events, Rally Readers,
library visits, hospital visits and Adopt-A-School
assemblies.

Furthermore, the Angels work together with
numerous community partners including: The
Anaheim Family YMCA, Project Access, OC Rescue
Mission and more. The Angels Families have also
taken an active role in the community throughout
the season by contributing their time and efforts
toward numerous charitable organizations. Many
of the players, wives and significant others organize
their own events as well to benefit both the Angels
Baseball Foundation and causes personal to them.
