First Responder Appreciation Games

The Padres are proud to celebrate, honor, and thank the first responders who serve and support the San Diego community. In recognition of their service, the Padres have designated three games as First Responder Salutes, presented by GOVX, dedicated to various departments throughout San Diego County, including but not limited to the police, fire, and lifeguard departments throughout the County, Sheriff’s Department, California Highway Patrol, U.S. Customs & Border Protection, FBI, DEA, Red Cross and others.

Thank you to all organizations on the front line of service to our community!
