Oakland A's FanFest

Oakland A's FanFest 2006 activities included autograph sessions; question and answer sessions with A's players, coaches and front office staff; "Baseball: 101", a clinic hosted by A's management, coaches and players that taught fans the fundamentals of the game; a behind the scenes tour of the A's clubhouse, weight room,


Oakland A's FanFest 2006, the largest A's charitable event, benefited the Oakland A's Community Fund and the Cure Autism Now Foundation. A's players and coaches were wearing "Athletes Against Autism" caps in support of the cause. Cure Autism Now is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and funding autism research and accelerating the pace of scientific progress toward effective treatments and a cure. The organization is one of the largest private funders of biomedical research in autism, providing more than $20 million for research grants, outreach and scientific resources since its inception in 1995.
It was a great time for all and for a great cause.
