Donation items includue used baseball gloves, bats, helmets, catchers' gear, batting gloves and baseballs.

Drop off any donations or volunteer your time from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 5 at Petco Park.

Collection bins will be available at the main gates. For each donation, a raffle ticket will be given for the chance to win Padres tickets and autographed memorabilia.
