Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation 2017 Has Been An

Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation 2017 has been an amazing year for World Series Champion and three-time All-Star, Anthony Rizzo. After celebrating helping the Cubs break the 108 year Championship drought and collecting a handful of awards for his performance in the 2016 season, including the Platinum Glove Award, Gold Glove Award, Silver Slugger Award, Fielding Bible Award and Wilson Defensive Player of the Year Award, as well as finishing 4th in the NL MVP voting, Anthony made it his mission to springboard that success to insure that 2017 was the best ever for the Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation. In 2012, Anthony and his family formed the Foundation to raise money for cancer research and to provide support to children and their families battling the disease. Through the success of the Foundation’s annual fundraisers, including the “Walk-Off for Cancer”, “Cook-Off for Cancer”, “Laugh-Off for Cancer” and “Home Run Challenge”, as well as other private fundraising events, Anthony accomplished his mission. In 2017 alone, the Foundation raised more than $2,000,000 and has pledged $3,500,000 to an endowment fund at Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago, $650,000 to the Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami, and has donated more than $400,000 directly to families battling Cancer. Anthony has also sent approximately 750 letters and autographed items directly to children battling cancer and to help raise money for other fundraising events. With the help of Cubs fans everywhere we will knock Cancer Out Of The Park. .
