WHAT: A ceremony will take place as River Cats Independence Field (RCIF) is dedicated to the memory of Art Savage.

Art, along with his wife Susan, moved to Sacramento not just to bring baseball to the region, but to plant roots and enrich the community beyond measure. In particular, the River Cats Foundation has supported Access Leisure programs for people with disabilities by "stepping up to the plate" to become the title sponsor for River Cats Independence Field, their legacy project.

RCIF is a completely barrier free baseball field, where athletes of all ages and abilities compete in team sports year round. The rubberized surface of the field allows players with disabilities to independently negotiate the infield and outfield with ease. The facility was built through generous contributions from community members and the City of Sacramento.
