As a Veteran and Mother, I am GOING TO BAT for our 2021 NCAA BASEBALL families in Los Angeles County, California. ALLOWANCES FOR FAMILY IN THE STANDS BY 16 APRIL 2021

The 2020 seasons for intercollegiate athletes ended abruptly to say the least.  My son called and said the 2020 season in cancelled.  No senior game, no good bye, and the coaches were not even allowed to meet with them!  It was a loss that thousands of student athletes and their families have felt, grieved and  came back for their SENIOR year for CLOSURE.  14 Months ago we didn't know what to expect, but now we have some seen all states and counties safely allowing fans in the stands for professional, youth, high school sports, casinos, both inside and outside venues, with the exception of  College SPORTS located in LA County and allowances needing to be granted by the LA Department of Health.

We've seen USC and UCLA football families petition in the fall 2020 for this same reason-LA Times ran the article written by Ryan Kartje, 16 Oct 2020 "Families of USC and UCLA football petitioning to attend games".  Still, the LA County has not updated it's allowances for COLLEGIATE SPORTS under the institutions of higher learning tab from September 2020.  That is 7 months ago and LA is now in the orange tier which is fantastic! 

TIME IS RUNNING OUT FOR A SECOND SEASON!! PLEASE sign this petition to show LA County Department of Health you support families in the stands, in person, safely following social distance guidelines so they can be apart of a lifelong journey's end with their sons.  ALLOWANCES NEEDED FROM LA COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH FOR:

FAMILY IN THE STANDS BEGINNING 16 APRIL 2021

Rock on in the Free world!
