Just as baseball is reckoning with executives and coaches accused of sexual harassment, and coming months after widespread protests in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, Giants manager Gabe Kapler has started a charitable program to try to deal with some of the institutional issues the sports industry faces.
Kapler and longtime business partner Stephanie St Amour on Monday launched the Pipeline for Change Foundation, a nonprofit that will provide grants to members of under-represented groups — women, persons of color, members of the LGBTQ and non-binary communities, those with physical challenges — to help them get involved in collegiate and professional sports.
