San Jose, CA- The San Jose Giants are excited to announce the second edition of the Hometown Heroes program, presented by Alliance Credit Union. The Hometown Heroes program is designed to allow fans to nominate individuals who they believe deserve to be recognized for their work in the community.

"We are thrilled for the opportunity to once again share the amazing stories of our community's heroes off the diamond alongside our longtime partner, Alliance Credit Union," said Juliana Paoli, San Jose Giants SVP of Communications and Chief Marketing Officer.
