When disasters strike, Major Leaguers strike back. Through the Players Trust, Major Leaguers play an active role in responding to world crises with both financial and in-person support to aid in the immediate and long-term recovery efforts in areas struck by natural disasters. |
The Players Trust has helped disaster affected communities in the Philippines, Japan, Haiti and the United States by providing financial support for a variety of relief efforts that focus on local collaboration, volunteerism and sustainability, while training and empowering people to rebuild their own communities. In addition, through the efforts of the Trust, many players have personally traveled to various affected communities to participate in and focus attention on the necessity for ongoing support long after the immediate needs fade from the spotlight.
