One of the best things about Fantasy Sports is how it brings people together in unique ways. Through Big League Impact, a charitable organization launched by St. Louis Cardinals star Adam Wainright in 2013, Fantasy Sports has been making an actual difference in people’s lives around the globe. Every year, many Major League teams, including the Mets and Yankees, gather at special Fantasy Football drafts with fans, and all proceeds are donated to Big League Impact’s charitable causes. More information on BLI charitable initiatives are available here.
Recently at Citi Field, the Mets hosted their annual Big League Impact charity Fantasy Football draft, with all proceeds going to BLI initiatives and the Mets Foundation.
