Parents by Choice and the Stockton Ports teamed up to celebrate foster parents May 17.
May was designated as National Foster Care Month to highlight the actions of foster parents in Stockton and San Joaquin County. More than 100 foster parents and their children joined the Parents by Choice staff to watch the Ports take on the Modesto Nuts.
Foster youth and their families participated in a pregame parade, led the crowd in the national anthem and ran onto the field with Ports players. Two foster parents were honored by throwing out the ceremonial first pitch.
This day was the first time some of the children had ever been to a professional baseball game. The day was filled with snacks, loud chants and frantic scrambles for foul balls. In addition to celebrating foster families, the Parents by Choice staff received donations of school supplies from Ports fans.
