Celebrating $50 Million in Charitable Giving

While we have been proud of our organization's successes on the field since our inception in 1998, the D-backs and the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation's true legacy is found throughout the community and across our home state to the tune of $50 million in total charitable giving - tops among all professional sports franchises in Arizona.

That dedication to giving back comes in the form of countless player hospital visits; over 63 Ken Kendrick Grand Slam Awards and more than 1,170 Program Grants distributions to state nonprofits; 38 ballfield refurbishments through our "Diamonds Back" Youth Field Building Program; and our signature Evening on the Diamond fundraising event which has generated over $13 million.

They come in the form of outfitting over 50,000 youth baseball and softball players and their coaches through the D-backs Give Back Jersey Program; and hosting the first and only Native American Inter-Tribal Youth Baseball and Softball Tournament.

They come in the form of a $300,000 Chase Your Dreams investment in revitalizing high school baseball and softball programs; raising awareness and funds to benefit Valley cancer charities through our annual D-backs Race Against Cancer; and our support of our Science of Baseball/STEM Showcase.

They come in the form of over $7 million in total 50/50 Raffle sales; our Michael Wogan Season-Ticket Scholarship Program; and supporting local education entities and students through the D-backs School Challenge and the D-backs-Helios Scholar Program - among many other initiatives - all ultimately targeting three overall main areas of need: homelessness, indigent healthcare and children's programs.

Made possible through the cooperation and donations of the D-backs, our Foundation board, corporate partners including Chase, University of Phoenix, APS, and FOX Sports Arizona, as well as the unwavering generosity of D-back fans, the organization and the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation are not only about community impact. We are also in the smile business, and we've been fortunate, grateful and proud to have dispensed $50 million worth of them over the last 19 years and counting.
