BOSTON.-David Ortiz is calling on his friends, even from the New York Yankees, to help his charitable organization dedicated to assisting children.

Next month the Dominican baseball player of the Boston Red Sox will host a golf tournament in the Dominican Republic, where the Panamanian Mariano Rivera, Alex Rodriguez, and two more players from the Yankees confirmed their participation.

On Tuesday Ortiz said his left wrist feels better after it bothered him nearly all of last season. Doctors said he’ll improve with rest.

"I guess people understand how important it is, what I’m trying to do," Ortiz said. "It’s something that’s going to help a lot of people, a lot of children."

More famous Dominicans should do things like this rather than blindly sending money to the government and having them distribute it. Bravo David!

This is a great act of unselfishness, I really admire and respect this gentleman not only in the field but mostly off the field, because this is where really matters the most. May God bless his heart and continue doing the great deeds that he is doing with the younger generation, it is about time someone takes charge on this so much expected and necessary act of love for the men and women of tomorrow.
May God bless you Mr Big daddy, you are truly a big daddy to the little dominicans kids, I wish I could be of some assistance and by the way I am extremely proud of you and I really hope this message makes it all the way to you and everyone else who cares.


God Bless!!
