May 11, 2015 – Chula Vista, CA – The Chula Vista Charitable Foundation (CVCF) has partnered with the San Diego Padres and AT&T to host the 2015 Chula Vista Community Series, a major annual fundraiser benefitting the Chula Vista community. As part of the series, discounted game tickets will be available for one game each month throughout the season, and a portion of each ticket sold will benefit worthy causes in Chula Vista.
The Community Series’ signature event will be the Chula Vista Community Day at Petco Park on Sunday, June 14, 2015. The Padres will take on the Los Angeles Dodgers and CVCF Founding Member and Chula Vista native Adrian Gonzalez. As part of the event, one lucky fan will have the opportunity to meet Gonzalez prior to the game. Other specials for the day include a free t-shirt for the first 500 tickets purchased through www.padres.com/chulavista.
In conjunction with the series, CVCF will present its 2015-2016 grantees with their checks during a special pre-game ceremony at the June 14 game. CVCF will award up to $40,000 to nonprofit organizations committed to making a positive, lasting impact in Chula Vista.
CVCF was founded in 2008 with a mission to improve the quality of life within Chula Vista by promoting and increasing responsible and effective philanthropy. Since its inception, CVCF has grown to over 100 members and built a community endowment of $300,000.
