4TH ANNUAL “HOME RUNS FOR KIDS” PROGRAM
This spring marks the Fourth Annual “Home Runs for Kids Program,” a partnership in which Perricone Juices has pledged to donate $250 per home run during Los Angeles Angels’ MLB games to the Irvine-based nonprofit organization, Miracles for Kids.
These generous donations benefit the families of children who have been diagnosed with critical illnesses and help support them financially and emotionally.
“This pledge makes a tremendous impact on the lives of the children and families that Miracles for Kids serves,” says Autumn Strier, Co-Founder and CEO of Miracles for Kids. “We are grateful for the ongoing support shown to our organization by both Perricone Juices and Angels Baseball, and are able to serve many more families thanks to their commitment to our cause.”
The Chairman of Perricone Juices, Joe Perricone, is a longtime supporter of Miracles for Kids. “We understand the value of family, as Perricone Farms has been a family-owned and family-run business for more than 85 years. Miracles for Kids goes above and beyond in their work to help families who are struggling, so this program is one way that we can support them and make a true impact on the lives of those families being served.”
The money raised through the Home Runs for Kids Program directly benefits families in need by funding programs that provide monthly financial aid, housing, food, clothing, mental health services, wellness activities, and more for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. To date, Miracles for Kids has been able to serve roughly 250 more families thanks to this partnership.
The first game of the season took place on Thursday, April 1 at 7:05 p.m. when the Los Angeles Angels played at their home stadium with a victory against the Chicago White Sox.
