As the official sports partner of Make-A-Wish America, Fanatics elevated the wish experience for five kids and their families, whose wishes were granted to attend the 2024 Major League Baseball (MLB) All Star Game in Arlington, TX! The Fanatics Make-A-Wish experience kicked off with a shopping experience at the Capital One All-Star Village where the group was joined by six-time @MLB All-Star Prince Fielder and MLB Legend Fergie Jenkins. Each wish kid was gifted a custom, personalized All-Star jersey and $250 to shop for exclusive MLB All-Star Game merchandise. Additional surprises at All-Star Village included trading card giveaways and a high-energy pack war, courtesy of Topps. The experience continued at Fanatics Collectibles’ Coppell office for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look into the world of trading cards with Topps, where each kid designed their own custom trading card. A big thank you to MLB, Make-A-Wish, and our Fanatics teammates for making this incredible wish experience possible! #onefanatics

Last month, we partnered with the Marcus Graham Project, the Washington Wizards, Monumental Sports & Entertainment, and Moët Hennessy for the ICR8 workshop, providing diverse aspirants in the field of marketing and media with hands-on experience in the sports industry.

Their creativity, dedication, and talent were evident, and we look forward to seeing how they will shape the industry's future. Congratulations to all who participated in the workshop. Your hard work and innovative ideas were inspiring. A special thank you to our partners—the Marcus Graham Project, the Washington Wizards, Monumental Sports, and Moet Hennessy—for making this event possible. We’d also like to give a shoutout to Linda Moon, Vice President of Global CRM at Fanatics, for her insights as a career panel member, and to Grace Farraj, Executive Director of the Fanatics Foundation™, and Christina Upchurch, Director of Fanatics Philanthropy & Community Engagement, for their expertise as judges. #onefanatics

Meet the Fanatics Team! Ian Meek, General Manager for the San Francisco 49’ers in-venue retail store, has been at Fanatics for six years. In his role, he is responsible for overseeing the merchandising department for the 49'ers, as well as assisting his team in operating all NFL, Non-NFL, and remote events at Levi’s Stadium. As the San Francisco 49’ers made their way to the Super Bowl this past season, Ian says that “every game leading up to the Super Bowl was a nail biter, and although we did not get the result we hoped for, being able to host two Playoff wins back to back weeks was surreal.” Outside of Fanatics, Ian, in support of his cousin who suffers from the condition, helps with many events held for Agelman Syndrome, which causes developmental disabilities and nerve-related symptoms.Looking to join the team?

Last week, in partnership with Make-A-Wish America and the Los Angeles Dodgers, Fanatics helped surprise seven kids with a Wish Madness event at Dodger Stadium. The event kicked off on Thursday with trading card trivia, hosted by Burbank Sportscards. There, the kids took home trading cards, along with fan gear that included the Los Angeles Dodgers second edition Nike MLB City Connect jerseys. The day concluded with a private tour of Dodger Stadium, which ended in the Dodgers Clubhouse where special, custom jerseys were proudly displayed for each child along with their name plate, adding a personal touch and making them feel like one of the players.   Leading up to the Dodgers vs. Los Angeles Angels game, each wish kid signed their own contract designating them as a Dodger for the day with Dodgers General Manager, Brandon Gomes. This was a unique honor giving them the opportunity to hang out in the dugout, play catch with a few members of the team, and watch batting practice. The two-day experience also featured surprise visits from some of their favorite players- including Clayton Kershaw and Mookie Betts as well as Dodgers Manager, Dave Roberts.   Special thanks to the Los Angeles Dodgers and Make-A-Wish for their partnership and help making these wishes come true! #onefanatics
