Tonight, Derrick Hall will be joined by the Arizona Diamondbacks SVP of Corporate and Community Impact, Debbie Castaldo. They will take the stage alongside multiple Foundation Board members such as: Bob Ryan, Amy Cohn, and Marc Ashton. They will each be presenting the awards to the recipients.
This Arizona Diamondbacks organization is showing how they are working tirelessly to further help amplify their community impact by lifting up those around them. These types of foundations only continue to help build and grow our city. The D-Backs grant program was established back in 1998, though was renamed last year. Derrick Hall has certainly earned the name change, as he has led this state-wide community impact for years. Hall has brought the Diamondbacks Foundation total giving to $93 million.
