Trevor Bauer finished the month of April with 51 strikeouts over six starts during the month of April, which amounted to a $51,000 donation being made to Think Together. Bauer launched a season-long initiative — “Ks for a Cause” — to donate $1,000 per strikeout to support nonprofit organizations focused on STEM and/or youth programming in the greater Los Angeles area.
Bauer is fully funding the initiative through grants from the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation (LADF). He also partnered with LADF to evaluate potential partner organizations and to work with receiving organizations.
In addition to monetary support, Bauer is highlighting all “Ks for a Cause” organizations through a dedicated content series on his YouTube channel and with limited-edition “Ks for a Cause” merchandise on his website.
