DECEMBER
December - Angels Baseball Foundation Children's Holiday Party

Each year the Angels Baseball Foundation aims to make the season brighter for 200 underprivileged kids by hosting a Children's Holiday Party for organizations in the Southern California area. For the first time in 2010, the Angels partnered with AM 830 to host the event. ESPN Zone in Anaheim was the new venue, and generously donated the use of their facility, food, and free video arcade games to all the children in attendance. Also new in 2010 was a partnership with Magical Builders' Jamma Jingles program, which provided a new pair of pajamas to every child in attendance. Players, coaches and broadcasters attend each year to kick off the event and provide the children with an afternoon of fun. Angels representatives welcome the children, pass out Angels hats and special holiday t-shirts. The children eat dinner, have a special visit from Santa, and then take time playing games. As the children leave the party, they each receive a toy from Santa and warm holiday wishes from the Angels.
