Pete Fairbanks got the final out of a save on a strikeout on Sunday, and with it, he donated another $100 to the Turner Syndrome Foundation, one near to him bec
ause he lost his daughter to the disease in early 2024.
That brings his seasonal total up to at least $3,500 in donations. But the foundation got a whole lot more awareness and fiscal support from fans around the league. "My pockets are $100 lighter, but you know, I think it was a great summation of what we've been trying to do,“I’m going to get a little choked up here. Given everything over the past year, this turned into a special day. I felt at peace on the mound today.”July 28, 2024
The interview, which was on RokuTV for free for fans nationwide, took steam and ostensibly got plenty of donations from fans. Lydia, Pete's wife,that everything on their charity auction had bids and got a huge spike after the game, with shirts raising awareness selling out. "If you're local, come build some Legos with me," Fairbanks said, which is one of the experiences fans can bid on. His wife updated later that afternoon that it was up to over $1,000 to build Lego with Pete. Later in the eveningAsked if he felt his daughter's presence, Fairbanks said, "Definitely felt a piece out there. So you know, I'll take that."Josh Wilson is the news director of the Breaking and Trending News team at Sports Illustrated.
