The Padres are proud to support the teachers, volunteers and staff involved in educating youth throughout San Diego. A few of our key initiatives are outlined below.
In 2016, the Padres began their scholarship program for military families. Today three $5000 military scholarship awards, funded by the SD Padres Foundation, and named after our SD Padres Distinguished Alumni, are presented to scholarship recipients chosen and awarded by our military non-profit educational foundation partners. The presentation of these awards were subsequently integrated into and presented at home plate ceremonies during our annual “Salute to the Military Family” Day at PETCO Park.
The Padres Foundation has been a leading supporter of the Monarch School and its thousands of unhoused students over the years, providing special support and opportunities as they persevere through the trauma of homelessness.
