Even if there are not a lot of charitable donations coming out of the pockets of most athletes, there can still be good things that they do for others. For instance, a man like Chris Paul, who upon becoming a professional athlete, he refurbished a basketball court for his hometown school. He is currently helping out others by participating in Feed the Children events and by helping local families.

Larry Fitzgerald also does his part by giving money to various organizations. He has visited troops and more. If you want to know about people who are helping children, you will not have to look far. Torii Hunter has created Hunter’s Hundred, a scholarship program that helped 1,000 students get into college.

The truth is, there are so many athletes who give 100% of themselves on the field and double that when they are at home. Whether it is working with children’s hospitals like Paul Gasol or helping to find a cure for breast cancer like Hannah Teter, these people choose to stand out and go above and beyond expectations. For that, we are grateful, because it ensures that the future of sports and fans is always going to remain strong.
