SAN JOSE, CA- The San Jose Giants in conjunction with their foundation, the Giants Sports Foundation, is pleased to announce summer camps for children 9 to 12 in Santa Cruz, CA July 26th through July 29nd. The new summer camps are part of the Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) program presented by KPMG, an international youth development initiative designed to provide opportunities to play baseball and softball to young people in underserved communities. Registration begins on July 19th and runs until July 23th at the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Cruz. Interested participants can learn more by visiting www.sjgiants.com.

"The Giants Sports Foundation is very excited to work with KPMG to bring the San Jose Giants summer camps to neighboring cities," said Cami Yuasa, Giants Sports Foundation Executive Director. "The camps have been one of the driving forces of our community program and we are thrilled to be able to share it with other deserving areas."

RBI presented by KPMG is a youth outreach program designed to increase participation and interest in baseball and softball, to encourage academic participation and achievement and teach the value of teamwork. It also strives to increase the number of athletes prepared to play in college and the minor leagues, and promotes greater inclusion of minorities into the mainstream of the game. The RBI concept was developed in 1989 and MLB assumed administration in 1991. The Boys & Girls Clubs of America, a MLB Charity, assists with the formation of RBI leagues and programs in some cities. To date, RBI programs have been started in more than 200 cities worldwide and annually have provided as many as 120,000 boys and girls the opportunity to play baseball and softball.

To sign up for the Camp at the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Cruz please call (831) 423-3138. For more information on the Giants Sports Foundation or the summer camps please visit www.sjgiants.com or call (408) 297-1435 ext. 29.
