For a third consecutive year, the Baseball Assistance Team (B.A.T.) has set a record for donations during its Spring Training Fundraising Tour with $4.3 million committed from 1,700 Major & Minor League players, coaches and front-office staff.
While Dr. Genoveva Javier’s husband, Stan, was playing in Major League Baseball, she made a vow that when his career was over she would find a way to make her life about helping others. Through B.A.T., she has done just that and was recognized with the Bart Giamatti Award at the organization’s annual breakfast.
