Each year the wives of the Oakland A's players and coaches volunteer their time to help those in need by "teaming up to make a difference". Some of the different events that they have participated in so far this season are:
• A's Wives vs. Giants Wives Softball Game
• MUG Root Beer Float Day
A's Wives vs. Giants Wives Softball Game
For the 11th year in a row, the A's wives and Giants wives squared of in a seven-inning contest. This year the game was held at the McAfee Coliseum. After the game a silent auction was held to benefit Children's Hospital & Research Center Oakland and San Francisco General Hospital Children's Services. Over $3,000 was raised through a silent auction held that day. Both teams community funds also made a $2,500 donation to their respective hospital.
Wednesday, July 30th @ 12:35 p.m. vs. Kansas City Royals
The Oakland A's celebrate Double Play Wednesday and MUG Root Beer Float Day against the Kansas City Royals. A number of A's Wives, Oakland A's players and various Bay Area radio and television personalities serve MUG Root Beer Floats and compete for tips by signing autographs and posing for pictures. All proceeds benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Mug Rootbeer Float Day will take place from 10:35am - 12:35pm in the East Side Club.
Last year the Oakland Athletics and their wives raised over $35,000 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
MUG Root Beer Float Day is presented by Pepsi and Comcast. Ice Cream is donated by Dreyer's.
