Bank of America Awards Project Access with $10,000 Grant

According to the 2013 Annual Social and Economic Supplement by the US Census Bureau, over 46 million people and more than 20% of children under 18 live in poverty. Many are hard-working Americans who have experienced loss of income and face the challenge of choosing between providing foods for their families or paying their utility bills.

Thanks to Bank of America, this grant will help us provide quality services to our residents with the goal of preventing the same hardships many Americans are facing.

(Listed are grantors and donors who gave $5,000 or more this quarter)

Anaheim Youth Mingle with Angels Players
Youth walked away with gifts for the holidays

The Angels invited 15 Project Access youth to participate in the Angels Baseball Foundation Childrens' Holiday Party at the ESPN Zone in Anaheim on December 10, 2014. Our youth got the chance to participate in a sit down for an "open mic session" with a panel of current Angels players and coaches which included C.J. Wilson, Efren Navarro and Tyler Skaggs. After the Q&A, our youth were invited to the top floor of the restaurant where they enjoyed a buffet dinner and an autograph session hosted by the players in attendance. The night was capped off with full use of the ESPN Zone arcade and each youth walked away with pajamas, toys and Angels memorabilia. Thank you Angels Baseball Foundation for this special treat!
