SAN DIEGO, Aug. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- TriLink BioTechnologies (TriLink), announced that it is sponsoring SAY San Diego's "Take Me Out to the Ballgame," a series of San Diego Padre games in the month of August to benefit San Diego families in need. The Padre's Foundation will donate a portion of each ticket sale to SAY.

"We are thrilled with this support," says Ellen Yaffa, Development Director for SAY San Diego. "Partnerships with community businesses like TriLink expand our capacity to serve kids, families, and communities. Joining together accomplishes so much more than we could ever do by going it alone."
