With Wednesday night’s annual Evening on the Diamond fundraising event, the Diamondbacks were expected to surpass the $50 million mark in charitable giving in franchise history.
“We give back more than all of the other local sports teams combined,” Diamondbacks CEO Derrick Hall said. “It’s incredible that we’re at $50 million. And we’re just getting going. We’ll have so much momentum we’re going to get to $100 million a lot quicker than we got to $50 million.”
Hall said the organization raises roughly $5 million a year for charitable causes, with a large chunk of that – likely more than $1.
