Dear Mayor Harry Sidhu and Members of the Anaheim City Council,
I am the CEO of Girl Scouts of Orange County, a leading nonprofit organization that serves nearly 18,000 girls
and 12,000 volunteers and adult members from every zip code in Orange County. As you prepare to vote on
Agenda Item 19 on Tuesday, October 6, I want to take this opportunity to share Angels Baseball’s outstanding
support of girls in our community.
Angels Baseball and Girl Scouts of Orange County have a long history of working together to prepare Orange
County girls for a lifetime of leadership. Together, we have been serving communities across Orange County
for more than 100 years. Angels Stadium opened in 1966 and Girl Scouts of Orange County formed in 1968.
Angels Baseball is a highly engaged supporter of Girl Scouts of Orange County’s vision to create the best
leadership development experiences for every girl in Orange County. Through the years, Angels Baseball has
financially supported many Girl Scout events and initiatives, enabling us to build strong, confident, and resilient
girls who dream big and do bigger.
In addition to financial support, we partner with Angels Baseball each year to bring hundreds of Girl Scouts and
their families together at Angels Stadium for an evening game and celebration of the more than 500,000 hours
of service Girl Scouts provide communities across Orange County every year.
Molly Jolly, Senior Vice President of Finance and Administration with Angels Baseball, is a Gold Award Girl
Scout, longtime Board Member of Girl Scouts of Orange County, and current Chair of Girl Scouts of Orange
County’s Board of Directors. And just last year, Girl Scouts recognized Carol Moreno, Co-Owner of Angels
th
Baseball, as our G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, and Leader) honoree at our 10 annual Celebrate
Leadership event for fueling Angel Baseball’s longtime commitment to local communities through programs
that promote education, healthy living, and arts and sciences.
As the Council considers a vote that could keep Angels Baseball in Anaheim for several more decades, I thank
you for this opportunity to share the club’s profound support of Orange County youth and our desire to continue
the important work that Angels Baseball and Girl Scouts of Orange County have been doing together to build
girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place. Never before has this been
more important.
