River Cats Foundation Grant

River Cats Foundation

Since the River Cats' inaugural season in Sacramento in 2000, involvement in the community has been an important priority.

The management and employees of the River Cats have focused their efforts on family and youth-based activities in the greater Sacramento area and have spent countless hours in the community at schools, non-profit organizations and civic clubs.

All members of the various River Cats operations are keenly aware of their responsibilities to give back to the community via donations of time and available funds.
