Angels Adopt-A-School
Each year the Angels Baseball Foundation works with the Orange County Department of Education and the program sponsor, Orange County Waste and Recycling (OCWR), to identify five (5) elementary schools to adopt each season. The schools are recommended to the Angels and the Angels Baseball Foundation by OCDE and OCWR, with a goal to highlight schools committed to green initiatives that support waste diversion education among teachers, students and families.
Angels Baseball will support each adopted school-site with the following:
- Promote growth in literacy, STEM programs (e.g. EcoChallenge/Project Zero Waste), mental wellness and other school initiatives
- Optional baseball-themed programming focusing on leadership, integrity and diversity.
- Black History Month Art Contest
- Up-Cycle Challenge
- EcoChallenge activity
- Grant for $2,000 from the Angels Baseball Foundation
- Professional Development workshop for teachers, provided by Child Creativity Lab
- Educator recognition award
- Adopt-A-School banner presented to each school.
- Angels game tickets for all students/staff to attend a 2026 Angels Baseball game at Angel Stadium
- School-wide assembly and player visit during the 2026 season (April/May 2026)
