AAF Receives Grant from the Wilson W. Phelps Foundation

For the second consecutive year, Action Alliance Foundation has received a grant from the Wilson W. Phelps Foundation. The $8,300 grant will be used to purchase mattresses for use by our residents.

Thank you, Wilson W. Phelps Foundation, for your continued and generous support!

AAF is thrilled to thank the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim for its recent donation of game tickets for use by our residents. The Angels donated 50 tickets to the May 11 game versus the Baltimore Orioles on Mother's Day, and 50 tickets to an upcoming game versus the Boston Red Sox on June 25.

"One of the residents who attended the May 11 game is part of AAF's partnership with OC Probation," explains Joe Melican, VP of Operations for AAF. "It was the first time he'd ever attended a major league baseball game - and he had an amazing time!"

A huge thank you to the entire Angels organization for giving the gift of major league baseball to our residents. We appreciate you!
