West Sacramento, Calif. - The Sacramento River Cats, along with community partners at Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services, announced on Sunday that donations of cash and diapers from the 8th Annual Players' Wives Donation Drive will provide over $11,000 worth of diapers to local families in need. The diapers will benefit families in Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services' Mother-Baby Program, which aims to sustain healthy families through mentorship, parenting education and support, and vital childcare supplies like diapers.

Wives and families of River Cats players and coaches at Raley Field collected diapers and sold autographed cards of the players and coaches from fans at Sunday night's game, with all proceeds benefiting Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services.

Since 2000, the River Cats' Wives Food Drive, started by Pam Geren (wife of former River Cats Manager and current Oakland A's Manager Bob Geren), has collected more than 28,000 pounds of food and $13,400 for local families. Last year's River Cats Wives Food Drive Event raised approximately $3,000 and 6,000 pounds of food for area families in need.
