Shirts Off Their Backs thank you

Many thanks to all the fans who participated in the 10th annual Shirts Off Their Backs fundraiser benefiting the Padres Foundation. Thanks to the generous corporate support of Sycuan Casino and the loyal Padres fans, more than $57,000 was raised to benefit Padres efforts in pediatric oncology and youth baseball/softball.

The 2010 Shirts Off Their Backs Fundraiser is scheduled for Friday, Sept. 24 through Thursday, Sept. 30.

Thank you all for helping the Padres and the Padres Foundation make San Diego a better place to live, work and play.
