and the Oakland Athletics, May 18-20.
On Monday, May

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.
