PHOENIX â On Saturday, families across the Valley got their COVID-19 vaccine and then ran the bases underneath the bright lights at Chase Field. It was a family-friendly event hoping to draw more people to get the shot.
âWe have Baxter stopping by. You get an opportunity to take a family photo in the dugout right after the vaccine, said Debbie Castaldo, with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Before the doors even opened, people like Ronni Vanbuskirk, a life-long Arizona Diamondbacks fan, waited in line in hopes of not missing out on some free tickets to an upcoming game.

CHANDLER, AZ A local apparel company built on Arizona pride is launching its own nonprofit with a virtual event Thursday.
State Forty Eight, the Chandler-based clothing company, announced the start of the State Forty Eight Foundation, a natural extension of the company s existing efforts to help the community it represents. We re limited on the for-profit side with what we can give and do, so it just makes sense, CEO and co-founder Michael Spangenberg told Patch of the decision to start a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. He is also now the chair of the foundation s board. What we re passionate about is getting involved.
