GIANTS WELCOME ROCKIES, CARDINALS AND ATHLETICS TO TOWN

HOMESTAND FEATURES: GIANTS FEDORA AND BRIAN WILSON GNOME

SAN FRANCISCO, CA. - The San Francisco Giants return to AT&T Park for a seven-game homestand against the Colorado Rockies, May 14-15, the St. Louis Cardinals, May 16-17 and the Oakland Athletics, May 18-20.

On Monday, May 14, the Giants will celebrate the 19th Annual "Until There's a Cure" Night sponsored by Gilead Sciences & the Giants Community Fund. In 1994, the Giants became the first-ever professional sports team to host an HIV/AIDS awareness game. Since then, the Giants, the Giants Community Fund and the Until There’s A Cure Foundation have repeated the effort, generating more than $1.5 million for HIV and AIDS education and care/service organizations and international AIDS research. This year pitcher Matt Cain is wearing the Until There’s A Cure® bracelet in support of finding a cure.

Tuesday, May 15, is Say Hey Tuesday as CSN Bay Area will host Chronicle Live from Willie Mays Plaza. Fans are invited to come out early and watch their favorite sports analysts.

On Wednesday, May 16, the defending Champion St. Louis Cardinals come to the Shores of McCovey Cove for a two-game series. That night fans are invited to purchase special event tickets and come out to the ballpark early to celebrate Carnaval. This celebration starts at 5:00 p.m. in Seals Plaza and will provide music, food, drinks and a Pablo Sandoval Chia Fro to all event ticket holders.

The Giants wrap up their homestand with a three-game series against the Oakland Athletics, May 18-20. On Friday, May 18, the Giants will be celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge with a special pre-game ceremony featuring Beach Blanket Babylon as well as highlights and tributes throughout the game to one of the world’s most well-known icons and a San Francisco treasure. In addition, the Giants will wear a special Golden Gate Anniversary patch on their uniform.

Saturday, May 19, the first 20,000 fans will receive a Giants Fedora presented by Genentech. On this day, the Giants and Genentech will raise awareness for their season-long Strike Out Cancer program which is dedicated to empowering and encouraging people affected by cancer to seek out information about treatments, support networks and educational resources. People affected by cancer from the Cancer Support Community and the Giants will share their stories during a pre-game ceremony.

On Sunday, May 20, the Giants will close out the homestand, as the first 25,000 fans will receive a Brian Wilson Gnome presented by CSN Bay Area.
