About this event
Celebrate this season of giving with an event that brings the joy of the holidays to you, your family, and to hundreds of other Bay Area children and their families who need a little help to make this season magical.
Join Holiday Heroes as we take guests inside Oracle Park to share a sleigh full of magical events and activities. For those who would rather enjoy the festivities from the comfort of their homes, families can gather ‘round their Holiday Heroes Wonder Boxes and enjoy the wonder of the holiday season!

So how do you get in on the festive fun of Holiday Heroes?
You can experience the magic of Holiday Heroes in person at Oracle Park or order your own Wonder Box. You can also have the chance to sponsor an underserved child’s attendance at Holiday Heroes or donate Be-A-Hero Box(es) to a child/family in need so they can share in the magic this holiday season.
Whether you attend the event or experience the festivities with your box, expect to be surprised and delighted - and enjoy some holiday spirit! Donated Be-A-Hero boxes will also contain essential items and gift cards to make the season bright for underserved children and their families.
Our 2021 goal is to bring joy and to raise spirits for 300 underserved children either through the delivery of Be-A-Hero boxes or their attendance at Holiday Heroes.
This Year’s List of Beneficiaries will be announced soon.
We believe that all kids deserve a chance to just be kids. We encourage youth to laugh hard, grow tall, and dream big through access to sports, after-school programs, health care services, and exceptional experiences.
