The Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation will host its third annual Christmas Party at the Texas Rangers MLB Youth Academy at Mercy Street Sports Complex, presented by Toyota, on Thursday, Dec. 17.

Reimagined as a drive-through event in the Academy parking lot, Thursday’s festivities will feature Christmas lights, stilt walkers and an appearance by Santa. Activities will run from 6 p.m. through 8 p.m.

Texas Rangers Chief Operating Officer Neil Leibman, who also serves as the chairman of the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation board, and his wife Amy are once again providing financial support for the celebration.

Pre-registered Academy families who attend will receive holiday gifts for their children and a pizza dinner served to-go. Approximately 120 families have pre-registered for the event.
