Jeter’s Golf Tourney
January 26th, 2008 | Categories: News
Today Derek Jeter held his fifth annual charity event for the youth of America. Known as the Derek Jeter Celebrity Golf Classic, Jeter and many other big names in todays world (such as Morgan Freeman, Allan Houston, and Micheal Jordan to name a few) go to the event to have fun, but more importantly to raise money for children. The money is then used for several purposes including academic and leadership programs. It is great to see fortunate people such as Jeter share some of their wealth to help others and to make a difference in the world. Our shortstop isn’t the first Yankee to do charity work lately, and that makes me proud as a Yankee fan. It is good to know that the people who play for my favorite team are kind and generous people.
