San Diego is a dream locale—but it’s also the most expensive city in the U.S. Thousands of families here face:

• Homelessness
• Addiction
• Poverty

These conditions often lead to child abuse, neglect, and even sexual exploitation.

That’s why Padres All-Star pitcher, Jason Adam, and his wife Kelsey are teaming up with Olive Crest. For every strikeout he pitches, Jason sponsors one crisis hosting — $1,250 — to provide one child in crisis with a safe, loving home.

Jason Adam’s motivation for launching the campaign comes from a deep desire to give back and support children who may not have the same kind of stable, loving environment he grew up with. He acknowledges that while strikeouts are always a goal in the game, knowing that each one contributes to a meaningful cause makes them “a little bit sweeter.”

The funds donated to Olive Crest are used to provide a range of services for children and families in crisis, including emergency placements, training for host families, and ongoing support for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. The organization’s mission aligns closely with Adam’s values, making this partnership both strategic and heartfelt.
