"I started this program after hearing the stories of families of martyred police and firefighters and single-parent families and wanted to help them a little bit," said Choo Shin-soo. "I'm proud to be able to deliver the donations I earned by playing a season's worth of games. We hope that the donations will go to those who really need it and bring a little bit of happiness."

Even while playing in Major League Baseball, Shin-Soo Choo traveled to South Korea in the off-season to raise money for Chungju Sacred Heart School, youth baseball, terminally ill patients, and firefighter families.
