Big League Impact Annual Report — 2022

Funds raised by St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt in 2022 helped Habitat for Humanity St. Louis build a home for this family right in the heart of the city.

A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER

It’s with a heart full of gratitude that I write to you today. The year ahead marks not only the 10th year of operation for Big League Impact, but also the final year of my major league career. This unique juncture has me looking both forward and back, cherishing the remarkable impact we’ve made together.

When my brother and I founded Big League Impact a decade ago, we envisioned a path where teamwork, compassion and determination could reshape lives and communities. That vision has become reality thanks to you, our dedicated and generous donors.

In 2022, our collective efforts raised an astonishing $1.2 million, pushing our total raised since 2013 to over $8 million. These funds continue to make a very real impact on peo-

ple in need, providing them with basic human necessities that many of us often take for granted. Through your unwavering support, we have helped to deliver food, clean water, medical care, shelter, and education to individuals all over the world. These aren’t just charitable acts; they are life-changing moments for those who receive them.

Thank you, from the depths of my heart, for believing in Big League Impact. I am filled with hope and excitement for the legacy we can continue to build together. Let us carry the spirit of unity, kindness, and generosity forward, making an even bigger impact in the years to come.

SWINGING FOR IMPACT PHILADELPHIA • AUGUST 2022

Philadelphia Phillies fans had a chance to compete against Big League Impact vice president Kyle Gibson, co-host Zach Eflin and their Phillies teammates during this year’s Swinging for Impact Topgolf Challenge. This unique event allowed fans to interact with the players in an intimate setting and raised more than $90,000 for two awesome organizations hand-picked by Gibson and Eflin:

• Help One Now, which will use the funds raised to sponsor children at the organization’s Ferrier Secondary School for one school year. The school is part of Help One Now’s trafficking prevention initiatives within Haiti. Gibson is also supporting Help One Now via his charity fantasy football league. Combined, the funds raised by our 2022 Philly events will sponsor 126 students.

$91,083 Raised for people in need

• Kisses for Kyle, which will be able to provide yearlong support for 24 families facing a pediatric cancer diagnosis. Their support includes offering financial assistance to families in need so they can focus on their child’s care.

PATTON HARVEST FEST & CORNHOLE TOURNAMENT • OCTOBER 2022

MLB pitcher Spencer Patton and his family hosted Patton Harvest Festival on Oct. 22, 2022 in Effingham, Il. More than $20,000 was raised for Hearing the Call, an organization that provides hearing healthcare to people who otherwise have no access. The Pattons first learned of the organization after their own son’s unexplained hearing loss.

“This cause is very dear to Jiletta and I,” Patton says. “Not only are we looking to raise funds and awareness toward hearing loss, but our hope is to also show support for people like our son who need a community of people to encourage them in their continuous struggle with hearing loss.”

The all-day, family-friendly event featured a cornhole tournament, live music by Bluewater King Band, kids’ activities, local food trucks, special guest bartenders and more.

Special thanks to our generous sponsors, Spectrum Reach, The Stage at Lake Sara, Twin City Baggers, The Rusty Reel, Gabby Goat, 217 Mortgage, Entheos, Aqua Blocks, HearCare Audiology and Lauren Nugent, for their support of this event.

BIG LEAGUE BLAST SPORTING CLAYS TOURNAMENT • NOVEMBER 2022

Big League Impact VP and Phillies pitcher

Kyle Gibson hosted the annual Big League Blast on Nov. 12, 2022, at St. Louis Skeet & Trap Club. Dozens of shooters braved the cold for a sporting clays tournament that raised more than $40,000 for food pantries in Franklin County, Mo.

Kyle and his wife, Elizabeth, were inspired to choose this cause after learning about the growing rates of food insecurity in their community. One in 10 U.S. households have trouble providing enough food for everyone in their home due to a lack of resources, according to the USDA. In 2021, an estimated 53 million people turned to food banks and community programs for help putting food on the table — and this demand is only expected to go up as inflation and supply chain challenges continue to impact local families. The money raised at this year’s Big League Blast will make a real impact for local people in need.

Special thanks to our generous sponsors, Rowley Sports Management, RTP Outdoors, Winchester Ammunition, Spectrum Reach, e3 Wealth, El Agave Mexican Restaurant, Farm-

ers Insurance – Ed Fogelbach, Exit 11, Hibbs Homes, LLC, Bank of Washington and Ming Insurance Group for their support of this event. Thanks also to past and present MLB players Noah Syndergaard, Sam Coonrod, Justin Masterson, Spencer Patton and Brad Thompson for joining us on the course.

The year was so successful that founder Adam Wainwright invited other professional baseball players to join him and host leagues in their hometowns.

Congratulations to our city and overall winner, Stephen Boyd!

KISSES FOR KYLE

In 2022, Big League Impact helped MLB pitcher Zach Eflin raise $58,743 for Kisses for Kyle, a non-profit organization that supports families who have children battling cancer in the Delaware Valley area.

“Every time we’ve been able to support our families financially this year through these extra generous funds available to us, I think of you, your awesome organization, and Zach and Lauren (Eflin),” writes executive director Sharon Snyder.

Snyder described a recent situation involving a family who rushed from their home in Mexico to the Delaware Valley to get their son the best treatment available for his cancer diagnosis. The family left in such a hurry, they were unable to pack everything they would need for their stay — including a change of clothes.

“Their social worker reached out on behalf of the family, thinking it would be a long shot of a request, but she thought to ask as we tend to support out of the box emergency needs,”

Snyder says. “After explaining to me what the family is facing, I was able to immediately say, of course we can help.

“I will wholeheartedly say, having these generous funds to utilize immediately is and will be making a huge impact to many families during what has to be the most difficult time in a family’s life.”

— KISSES

“EVERY TIME WE’VE BEEN ABLE TO SUPPORT OUR FAMILIES FINANCIALLY THIS YEAR THROUGH THESE EXTRA GENEROUS FUNDS AVAILABLE TO US, I THINK OF YOU, YOUR AWESOME ORGANIZATION, AND ZACH AND LAUREN EFLIN.”

CRISIS AID INTERNATIONAL

Crisis Aid International is one of our longtime charity partners. In 2022, Adam Wainwright selected Crisis Aid International’s Community Helping Community program to benefit from his #ALLWIN St. Louis campaign.

The Community Helping Community program works with partners all over St. Louis to help provide food to people from all walks of life. The program, which started during the COVID-19 pandemic, has impacted more than 100,000 families and distributed more than 2.5 million pounds of food via its Crisis Boxes.

Below is a touching story shared by CEO and founder Pat Bradley about the impact of this program:

“How do we express how the Crisis Boxes have made an impact? I will relay a story and hopefully, it will express a small amount gratitude for the boxes.

During hand outs, I try and greet as many clients as possible. One of our clients is a Vietnam veteran. When I first met him, I thanked him for his service — I always look forward to seeing him. A few weeks ago, I walked up to his little truck, reached in to pat him on the shoulder and say, ‘Hello, Tom.’

He grabbed my hand and started kissing it and said — ”You are an angel. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH.” He was tearing up and of course, I was also tearing up. I mean, a veteran, crying and thanking ME!

When you ask if the boxes make a difference... We get the glory, but it really should go to so many other people! I hope this gives you some insight into how much people depend on the Crisis Boxes.”

CONSIDER THE LILY

For years, Big League Impact has worked with MLB pitcher Luke Weaver to support Consider the Lily, a nonprofit that provides aftercare homes in Manila, Philippines, for abused, exploited, and trafficked Filipino girls. In 2022, Big League Impact helped Weaver, as well as pitcher Chase Anderson and former catcher Nick Hundley, raise $57,640 for the organization through Weaver’s fan-supported #ALLWIN campaign and our Players Only Fantasy Football League.

“We are thrilled to provide you with an update on the impact of your generous donation to Consider the Lily,” writes director Kim Hommell. “Your support has made a significant difference in the lives of the girls in our care, and we are truly grateful for your part-

nership in this critical work.”

Funds raised through Weaver’s participation in Big League Impact’s #ALLWIN campaign and Players Only Fantasy Football League have helped Consider the Lily expand their reach to offer help to even more girls in need.

“The funds you provided are being used to provide counseling, education, and justice, along with physical needs like food and transportation,” Hommell writes. “With your support, we can now get another van to take the girls to school, court appearances, and Sunday worship services. This will make a significant difference in the lives of these girls and their ability to access the resources they need to heal and grow.”

WE CANNOT EXPRESS ENOUGH OUR GRATITUDE FOR YOUR SUPPORT. YOUR GENEROSITY HAS MADE A PROFOUND IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF THESE GIRLS, AND WE ARE HONORED TO HAVE YOUR PARTNERSHIP IN THIS WORK.”

— CONSIDER THE LILY

GIVING SOLE

In 2022, infielder Trevor Story won $20,000 for Giving Sole through our Big League Impact Players Only Fantasy Football League. The organization, which works with foster care agencies to provide new tennis shoes for children in need, said that money will help more than 300 kids get brand new shoes in 2023.

“Not only do the new shoes help the kids, but it also can be a huge help to the families that look after these kids,” says Shawn Henss, CEO and founder of Giving Sole. “Some of these kids are in kinship placements, which means that a family member has stepped up to take

the child or children so that they don’t end up in the foster care system.

“These kinship placements do not get a lot of financial help from the government, so we love that we can help with some of the financial burdens by getting the kids new shoes.”

Henss says that some of the children they serve are teenagers, and have never had a brand new pair of shoes in their life. Because of that, he explained, his organization is committed to providing these children with the exact shoes that they ask for.

ABOUT OUR #ALLWIN CAMPAIGNS

Our #ALLWIN campaigns invite MLB fans to help us make an impact, one swing at a time! Each campaign offers an exciting opportunity for baseball fans to team up with their favorite MLB players and make a difference in the world. Players pledge a donation to a specific charity for every game their team wins during the regular season; additionally, players may also pledge donations based on their individual stats throughout the season (ie. strikeouts, stolen bases, etc.).

By donating to an #ALLWIN campaign, fans can support a wide range of charities that are making a positive impact in their communities — while also being entered to win fun prizes.

In 2022, we helped players from the St. Louis Cardinals, Philadelphia Phillies, Texas Rangers, New York Yankees, Arizona Diamondbacks and Kansas City Royals rally their fans to raise $316,190 for over a dozen charities. When we’re all in, we #ALLWIN!

I believe there are a lot of situations where people are wanting to be part of something bigger than themselves, but they just don’t have an avenue to do that. Big League Impact gives people that option with so many amazing causes.

Big League Impact founder Adam Wainwright and his St. Louis Cardinals teammates stepped up to the plate once again for our #ALLWIN St. Louis campaign, raising more than $100,000 for charity throughout the 2022 season. Other participating Cardinals included Tommy Edman, Paul Goldschmidt and Miles Mikolas.

Charities that benefiting from the 2022 #ALLWIN St. Louis campaign include:

• Crisis Aid International‘s Community Helping Community program, which works to empower St. Louisans help neighbors who may be facing food insecurity and provide them with supplemental quality food.

• St. Louis Public Schools Foundation, which works to engage and focus local, regional and national support to promote educational success for St. Louis Public School District students.

• Crisis Aid International‘s U.S. Safe program, which provides a women’s shelter in St. Louis. The shelter offers a critically needed holistic home and safe haven for American female survivors of sex trafficking. Crisis Aid is committed to helping youth who are at risk or caught in sex trafficking within our communities through one-on-one mentoring and support.

The team’s total was boosted by an extra campaign by Mikolas, who pledged a separate donation of $200 per strikeout. He finished with 31 in an abbreviated season and will donate an additional $6,200 to programs at the Crisis Aid Women’s Shelter that support victims of human trafficking.

I want to explore the world properly, to be able to write about and take pictures of all kinds of different cultures. Just be an explorer or adventurer. I also love extreme sports adventurer nature.

“It’s so special to get to see the cause each player chooses and to get to understand a little better what matters most to them and their families,” Wainwright says. “I’m honored that so many of my teammates were willing to go all in on this #ALLWIN campaign, and look forward to seeing the ways these awesome organizations put this money to work in the communities they serve.”

• Habitat for Humanity St. Louis, which helps families living in substandard rental housing with the opportunity to help build and then purchase a home they can afford to maintain; and

IMPACT REPORT HABITAT FOR HUMANITY ST. LOUIS

The funds raised by St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Paul Goldschmidt during the 2022 #ALLWIN St. Louis campaign made a truly incredible impact. His support of Habitat for Humanity St. Louis helped the nonprofit build a home for a family of four (estimated cost, $250,000) right within the heart of the city, showcasing Paul’s enduring commitment to his baseball community.

During their exciting run to the 2022 World Series, Big League Impact vice president Kyle Gibson and his Philadelphia Phillies teammates still made time for giving back. Gibson and fellow Phillies pitchers Zach Eflin and Aaron Nola raised nearly $60,000 for causes close to their hearts. Charities that benefited from the 2022 #ALLWIN Philadelphia campaign include:

• Cradles to Crayons, which provides low-income and homeless children around Greater Philadelphia with the everyday essentials they need to thrive at home, at school, and at play;

• Philabundance, the largest food bank serving the Philadelphia and Delaware Valley region of Pennsylvania;

• Kisses for Kyle, a nonprofit that supports families who have children battling cancer in the Delaware Valley area.

• Team Red, White & Blue, a nonprofit that enriches veterans’ lives by offering real-life and virtual opportunities focused on building a healthier lifestyle.

In addition to their #ALLWIN campaigns, which promises a donation for every team win, Gibson, Nola and Eflin raised a combined $80,416 with individual strikeout campaigns.

IMPACT REPORT PHILABUNDANCE

“The funds donated by Kyle Gibson enabled us to provide 5,382 people with a meal in our nine-county service area. Thanks to dedicated donors like Kyle, the people we serve are able to get fresh, nutritious produce and shelf-stable foods that are culturally responsive, healthy, and convenient to access.

Your support during this critical time will enable us to continue to provide our communities with the healthy, culturally relevant foods they need and deserve.”

The Texas Rangers and the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation teamed up to raise more than $30,000 during the 2022 season. Pitchers Dane Dunning and Spencer Patton, as well as second baseman Nick Solak, hand-picked charities including:

KYLE GIBSON: PITCHING FOR A PURPOSE

Congratulations to Big League Impact vice president and MLB pitcher Kyle Gibson, the Philadelphia Phillies’ 2022 nominee for the Roberto Clemente Award!

Serving and caring for others has been an integral part of Gibson’s character during his nearly decade-long baseball career, which also includes stints in Minnesota and Texas. He first teamed up with BLI in 2017 and has been a true champion of our mission ever since.

When Gibson arrived in Philly in 2021, fans were quick to witness Gibson’s impact both on and off the field. He made an unforgettable introduction by immediately rallying his new teammates and fans around the #ALLWIN Philadelphia campaign, making donations to Cradles to Crayons, which supports low-income and homeless children, and Philabundance, an organization combating food insecurity in the Philadelphia area.

Gibson continued to earn wins for charities working both locally and internationally. throughout the 2022 season by introducing philanthropic events such as Swinging For Impact and our signature fantasy football league.

During a joint interview with founder Adam Wainwright earlier this year, Gibson said that he and his wife Elizabeth feel particularly called to support organizations working to lift kids out of poverty.

“Kids are just so innocent,” he said. “They have no decision on what type of a situation they go into, no decision on who their family members are. They’re just there. It’s an honor to be able to partner with organizations that are able to lift those kids out of poverty, get them into an educational system that changes generations for years to come.”
