Baseball has always been about more than what happens on the field. It’s about community, family traditions, and sharing moments across generations. This June, AARP California invites you to be part of that story—no matter where you live—through a special virtual event spotlighting the Oakland Ballers, Oakland’s only professional baseball team, and an in‑person Father’s Day celebration at the ballpark.

Join Our Free Virtual Event on the Oakland Ballers

On June 15, 2026, join us for a one‑hour virtual conversation with Oakland Ballers President Yeshayah Goldfarb, who will share the team’s unique origin story, its deep ties to Oakland, and its vision for the future of community‑focused baseball.

This online event is open to participants nationwide and offers a behind‑the‑scenes look at how the Ballers are building something special—on and off the field. Whether you’re a lifelong baseball fan or simply love stories of local pride and perseverance, this conversation is for you. Register at: https://events.aarp.org/OaklandBallers061526. This event is free and open to the public.

Celebrate Father’s Day at the Ballpark

If you’re able to join us in person, keep the celebration going at the Oakland Ballers Father’s Day Game at Raimondi Park and save 25% on tickets with discount code ARPOB25 when purchasing your tickets. Bring your father figures and the whole family for a day of baseball, food, and fun in the heart of Oakland.

Be sure to stop by the AARP table at the game to learn more about intergenerational family caregiving resources. Many families care for loved ones across generations, and AARP is here to help with tools, guidance, and support—because caregiving is also a way we show love and appreciation on Father’s Day.
