PHOENIX -- Pairing his love of fantasy football with his mission to service basic needs across the world, Adam Wainwright introduced a unique charity initiative two years ago that continues to grow in its reach.
Two years after first inviting fans to play fantasy football against him and his Cardinals teammates, Wainwright has spread his Big League Impact fantasy football event into eight Major League cities this year. Each has a big league player championing the cause and rallying teammates and local celebrities to be a part of an initiative that, in two years, has raised an estimated $670,000.
