ANAHEIM, CA – A report of child abuse is made every ten seconds in the United States, and nearly five children die every day in America as a result. That’s why Angels Baseball, Stremicks Heritage Organic Milk, and Olive Crest have teamed together to ensure at-risk children in our communities are “Safe at Home.” Starting today, in honor of the Angels 50th anniversary, for every Angel run scored, Stremicks Heritage Organic Milk will donate $50 to support kids at Olive Crest who have suffered from abuse, abandonment, and neglect.
“Stremicks Heritage Organic Milk is thrilled to be part of this campaign and proud that our contribution will help restore the health and well-being of children who have suffered from abuse,” said Sam Stremick, Vice President Sales and Marketing, Stremicks Heritage Foods. “As a family-based company, we know the importance of strong family ties and we’re honored to support Olive Crest in providing nurturing families to kids who need them most.”
“Nearly 60,000 children under the age of eighteen in California are in foster care and that’s a problem we can’t ignore” says Dennis Kuhl, Chairman, Angels Baseball. “This season, each time the Angels safely cross home plate they will help give young victims of abuse what all children deserve: A safe and loving home.”
“We are honored to partner with Angels Baseball and Stremicks Heritage Organic Milk in the fight against child abuse,” said Donald Verleur, Chief Executive Officer, Olive Crest “Together we can raise awareness to the plight of at-risk children while providing a voice on behalf of young victims who desperately need an opportunity to thrive.”
Angel fans are invited to join this winning team in raising $50,000 by the end of the season.
