Henry Louis Aaron Fund established to honor Hank Aaron s legacy
By FOX 5 Atlanta Digital Team

ATLANTA - Hank Aaron was laid to rest on Wednesday, but his legacy will continue thanks to the formation of The Henry Louis Aaron Fund, which will live inside the Atlanta Braves Foundation.
On Wednesday, it was announced the fund was seeded with $1 million with an additional half-million dollars being contributed by the Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association. We want to continue Hank’s amazing work in growing diversity within baseball now and in the years to come, said Terry McGuirk, Atlanta Braves Chairman. I believe this seed money is just the beginning for this growing fund and I’m certain other companies and organizations who have worked with Hank over the years will join us and add to this call to action to develop talent and increase the diversity on the field and in the front offices across the league.

TORONTO The Blue Jays have been named the 2020 recipient of the Allan H. Selig Award for Philanthropic Excellence, recognizing the organization’s “Blue Jays Community Commitment,” which raised $7.5 million to support those disproportionately affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada.
The club’s work specifically addressed food insecurity and the social isolation that many young Canadians faced in 2020. This is the second Selig Award that the Blue Jays have received, with the first coming in ‘12 for its “Toronto Blue Jays Baseball Academy” initiative. They join the Boston Red Sox (2010, ‘19) as the only clubs that have won the Selig Award multiple times.
