Celiac Disease Fundraiser with the S.F. Giants!
AT&T Park
Thursday, June 28
7:15pm
The Giants are playing the Cincinnati Reds. This fundraiser will support Camp Celiac
and the Celiac Disease Foundation.
Folks can purchase their own type of seat section, allowing flexible ticket prices. There will be no pre-game event. Food can be purchased in the park. A cool Giant's collectible basket will be yours - if you purchase the most tickets on one transaction.
Look for a Jumbo Tron Shout out during the game. Pre-game will also welcome our Celiac Disease fundraiser night support on TV's displayed throughout the stadium.
AT&T Park Gluten Free Menu: Section 112 (behind home plate) is offering gluten-free hot dogs, Redbridge beer, peanuts, popcorn and Ghiradelli hot fudge sundaes.
Tickets can be purchased here.
 Thanks to Karen Friis, pictured with her family, for organizing this community event!Questions?
