On Sunday, June 11, 2023, Rancho Mesa’s Account Executive Greg Garcia participated in “PLAY BALL,” a weekend pop-up event hosted by Major League Baseball and the San Diego Padres that aims to bring baseball and softball accessibility to underprivileged youth.
Garcia, a former Padres player, joined fellow players and over 150 kids in the MLB event at a specially designed, comic book-style lot in Logan Heights.
“To have a field where they can call home and come to hone in on their craft and have fun with their friends, it’s really important… this was me when I was eight or twelve, or however old these kids are — just enjoying the game for what it is,” Garcia said, in an article published by FOX 5 News.
Rancho Mesa is proud to have a member of our team serving the San Diego community.
“At Rancho Mesa we are always trying to look for opportunities to give back to our community so it came as no surprise to me that Greg would be involved in this awesome event,” says Dave Garcia, President, Rancho Mesa Insurance Services, Inc. “I’ve watched him do these things many times over his life and I’m very proud of him for representing Rancho Mesa in giving these kids a day to remember.”
