Matt Leinart Founation
Matt’s Foundation grants Matt’s Magical Moments to disadvantaged children and children with life-threating medical conditions. We grant moments ranging from ice cream delivered to hospitals by Matt, to Our Angel Experience and more.
The Matt Leinart Foundation is the proud recipient of the Certificate of Appreciation from Eric Garcetti the Mayor of Los Angeles.
“In appreciation of your ongoing support in bringing joy to the children of The Salvation Army Los Angeles Red Shield Youth & Community Center. Your compassion instilled so much Joy and Laughter in the heart of many children this Holiday Season. Thank you!”
Every year we take approximately 25 Little Brothers that have not received a Big Brother yet to an Angel Baseball Game. Not only do they getto go to the game but also we take them onto the field while the Angels are warming up. Several of the players take the time to come over to sign autographs for the children. Then they get to have lunch in a private room, get a goodie bag of Angel memorabilia and watch the Angels play a baseball game!
