Kay family spreads joy to cancer patients with special gift of baseball
- Anthony Kay and wife Alyssa organized a charity event for pediatric cancer patients in conjunction with a White Sox homestand.
- Kay’s motivation comes from his niece Annabella’s brain cancer diagnosis, shaping his desire to help families facing illness.
- Two families from Chicago attended the game after being invited to a suite with food and gifts from the Kays.
- The event supported children Greyson and Raymond, both fighting serious cancers, with gifts and a chance to meet players.
- Kay hopes the night offers a positive escape for families dealing with cancer and demonstrates community support.
- The plan includes potential auctioning of a signed hat worn by Kay if he pitches during Players Weekend.
- The initiative aligns with Kay’s view that older players should model community service for younger teammates.
- The White Sox and their community partners support families through food, suite access, and gift bags.
- The event took place during a White Sox home game against the Tigers, at Rate Field in Chicago.
- The coverage originates from MLB.com’s White Sox Beat newsletter, shared by Scott Merkin.
