Giants Community Fund Academy is now the Orlando Cepeda Academy
The Giants Community Fund Academy has entered a new chapter as the Orlando Cepeda Academy, honoring the legacy of Giants legend and Hall of Famer Orlando Cepeda.
Established in 2022 in partnership with the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department, the Academy provides free, competitive baseball and softball to middle and high school-aged youth in San Francisco’s under-resourced communities. The program aims to strengthen diversity in the game through pathways both on the field and into front offices across professional sports.
Registration opens: Wednesday, April 1 at 6 p.m. PST
Opening Day: Saturday, June 13 at Balboa Park
Opening Day will also feature the debut of the Orlando Cepeda Academy logo.
