Local nonprofit chosen as A's 'Game Charity'

The Oakland A's baseball team is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2018 and for the first time in its history, they have selected a few Bay Area charities to be "The Game Charity" for a home game. Moraga's Be the Star You Are - an all volunteer charity with no paid staff that empowers women, families, and youth through increased literacy and positive media messages - will be the featured nonprofit for the Friday, June 15 baseball game against the Los Angeles Angels, one of the chief rivals of the Oakland Athletics.

"We are so thrilled and grateful to be selected as The Game Charity," said BTSYA Executive Director Cynthia Brian. "This is an unique opportunity to celebrate an evening of family fun on the field including a phenomenal fireworks display with our local volunteers, supporters, and community."

The entertaining family night will begin at 6:30 p.m. with field-level seating in sections 128-132. Be the Star You Are ticket holders will get to go on the field to watch the Dinosaur Fireworks with a Jurassic Park theme following the game. Attendees will receive some swag plus several other special surprises to be announced. Raffle tickets will be sold for an experience for two individuals to go on the field on a different day to watch batting practice and meet the players.

Discount tickets are $34, which includes the service fee; a portion of the proceeds will benefit Be the Star You Are. For information and purchasing links, visit www.BetheStarYouAre.org or email info@BetheStarYouAre.org. Tickets will also be available between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. March 17 at the Be the Star You Are booth at LaGaelrinda Day at Saint Mary's College.
