San Francisco Giants World Championship Trophy Tour presented by Bank of America Visits Vacaville on January 13, 2015

What: The San Francisco Giants World Championship Trophy Tour presented by Bank of America will continue its public tour and visit Vacaville on Tuesday, January 13, 2015. The 2010, 2012 and 2014 Major League Baseball’s Commissioner’s Trophies, crafted by Tiffany & Co., will be on display to help celebrate the World Series Champions with devoted Giants fans in Junior Giants communities throughout northern and central California, Oregon and Nevada, and help raise funds and awareness for the Junior Giants program.

The viewing of the trophies is free to the public but a voluntary contribution of $2 per person is suggested to support the local Junior Giants program. This will be the third public trophy tour held in the past five years.

“We are incredibly excited to welcome the Giants World Champions trophies to Vacaville,” said Vacaville Junior Giants League Commissioner Stacy Andersen. “In 2014, the Vacaville Police Activities League served 204 children who live in the area. By coming out to view the trophies, our community members are also supporting our Junior Giants League and their support is much appreciated!”

Junior Giants is the flagship program of the Giants Community Fund, which serves more than 22,000 boys and girls in 87 underserved communities throughout northern and central California and southern Oregon. It is a free and non-competitive baseball program that has served as a model for MLB youth initiatives. Using baseball, the Junior Giants provides opportunities for youth to link with adult mentors and to learn about the program’s Four Bases of Character Development: Confidence, Integrity, Leadership and Teamwork. Locally, the Junior Giants program has been running in Vacaville for 5 years and many of its participants would not normally have the opportunity or means to play baseball.

Volunteer coaches are needed for the upcoming eight-week Vacaville PAL Junior Giants season that begins on June 16, 2015. To learn more about volunteer opportunities, please contact Vacaville PAL at [email protected] or 707-469-6674.
