IN PURSUIT OF GOOD

MLB Athletes Turning to Charitybuzz for Meaningful Impact Beyond the Baseball Field
about 1 month ago | February 07, 2026

Social impact is woven into the mission and spirit of Major League Baseball.

MLB Together’s notable programs extend across cancer research, military appreciation, inclusion and more, and hundreds of today’s top players and legends of the game have founded their own nonprofit organizations.

Charitybuzz is proud to work with Fernando Tatis Jr.’s Full Count Foundation, the Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation, Jesús Luzardo’s Foundation, the Pedro Martinez Foundation, and others, to harness the excellence and influence of MLB to make a meaningful impact for underserved communities. 

With these partners, we go beyond the gala. Every Charitybuzz auction reaches hundreds of thousands of potential new supporters around the world, inviting them each to bid, learn more and support player foundations. Our unique partnerships have unlocked millions in new, unrestricted funding and, in many cases, forged relationships with new lifetime supporters.
