NEW YORK -- Yankees second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. paid it forward on Monday night by hosting a fundraising event at the night spot Nebula for the Jazz Chisholm Foundation.
The music was jumping. The food was tasty. But the most important thing was to help kids in need. Proceeds from the event will support programs for kids from Florida, the Bahamas and the Bronx.
“I love doing it. It’s my favorite thing to give back to the kids,” Chisholm said.
The newest foundation partner, CS/PS-55, is a school in the Bronx that will receive a donation of 25 touch-screen laptop computers, along with other improvements made to the computer lab.
Chisholm loves giving back because he remembered how former Major Leaguers such as Gary Sheffield, Hanley Ramirez and Antoan Richardson donated equipment
