The focus is to offer gear and assets to youth baseball and softball leagues, incorporate monetary literacy training into varied programming actions and assist mission-aligned nonprofit organizations.nn”I always wanted to give back and to make it easier for the kids to make it where I am,” Chisholm mentioned, citing Snoop Dogg’s Snoop Youth Football League. “If you realize how many kids get drafted alone from his Peewee League, that means he has an effect in some way, because it’s Snoop Dogg and people respect him, and I want that to happen in the Bahamas. I know my name gets used a lot in the Bahamas, especially for the sport of baseball. I don’t want the Jazz Chisholm Foundation to just be baseball alone. We’re going to start with baseball, but we’re going to get in the works with a couple of the NBA guys, a couple of the football guys, and make this a whole big together thing.”nnThe foundation’s launch event will be a charity fashion show in Brickell on Aug. 28, and the Jazz Chisholm Foundation Little League will begin in his hometown of Nassau, Bahamas, this fall. The league will recruit 200 boys and girls to be a part of the inaugural team, then provide them with a uniform, cleats, gloves and use of other team equipment at no cost. The league will participate in a series of games around the island.nnThe hope is to expand the foundation’s reach to summer ball and AAU basketball.”,”type”:”text”},{“__typename”:”Video”,”contentDate”:”2023-08-16T00:30:34.422Z”,”preferredPlaybackScenarioURL({“preferredPlaybacks”:”mp4AvcPlayback”})”:”https://bdata-producedclips.mlb.com/35390c2d-0327-4dee-845b-fe303ffae13c.mp4″,”type”:”video”,”description”:”Jazz Chisholm Jr. ranges back to the track in deep center to make a sweet catch”,”displayAsVideoGif”:false,”duration”:”00:00:11″,”slug”:”johnny-cueto-in-play-out-s-to-jon-singleton”,”tags”:[{“__typename”:”InternalTag”,”slug”:”season-2023″,”title”:”Season 2023″,”type”:”season”},{“__typename”:”GameTag”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”defense”,”title”:”defense”,”type”:”taxonomy”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”in-game-highlight”,”title”:”in-game highlight”,”type”:”taxonomy”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”highlight”,”title”:”highlight”,”type”:”taxonomy”},{“__typename”:”PersonTag”,”slug”:”playerid-665862″,”title”:”Jazz Chisholm Jr.”,”person”:{“__ref”:”Person:665862″},”type”:”player”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”2-yahoo-mlb-ads-feed”,”title”:”2-Yahoo MLB Ads Feed”,”type”:”taxonomy”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”yahoo-in-game”,”title”:”Yahoo In-Game”,”type”:”taxonomy”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”send-to-news-mlb-feed”,”title”:”Send To News MLB feed”,”type”:”taxonomy”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”international-feed”,”title”:”International Partner feed”,”type”:”taxonomy”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”fan-duel”,”title”:”Fan Duel”,”type”:”taxonomy”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”eclat-feed”,”title”:”Eclat feed”,”type”:”taxonomy”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”apple-news”,”title”:”Apple News”,”type”:”taxonomy”},{“__typename”:”TaxonomyTag”,”slug”:”alexa”,”title”:”alexa”,”type”:”taxonomy”}],”thumbnail”:{“__typename”:”Thumbnail”,”templateUrl”:”https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-images/image/upload/{formatInstructions}/mlb/zhgao1tzoixfzpsoxqza”},”title”:”Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s jumping snag”,”relativeSiteUrl”:”/video/johnny-cueto-in-play-out-s-to-jon-singleton”},{“__typename”:”Markdown”,”content”:””It’s going to start in Nassau, but we’re going to try and move it to where we have an academy and have kids,” Chisholm said. “I feel like the little league will have to be in Nassau because the younger kids are younger.

He actively participated in the Marlins’ relief efforts following Hurricane Dorian in 2019 before making his MLB debut. He also regularly returns to Nassau to host youth baseball clinics or help out his mentor Geron Sands at the International Elite Sports Academy. A fan favorite, Chisholm regularly gives away his equipment and signs for supporters at the ballpark.nnFor more information, click on right here.”,”kind”:”textual content”}],”contentType”:”news”,”subHeadline”:null,”abstract”:”This story was excerpted from Christina De Nicola’s Marlins Beat newsletter.
