Hank Aaron: 1934-2021

Hank Aaron Tribute
Support the Henry Louis Aaron Fund

Henry Aaron’s life-long passion was to increase minority participation in baseball - whether that was on the field, in baseball operations, on the business side of a front office or at Major League Baseball.

The Atlanta Braves are honored to announce that we are forming The Henry Louis Aaron Fund, inside the Atlanta Braves Foundation, and seeding the first $1 million. Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association will graciously match with an additional $1 million.

Braves Icon Hank Aaron Passes Away

The Hall of Famer and philanthropist was 86

It is with great sadness we share the passing of our home run king, Hank Aaron, who passed away peacefully in his sleep. He was 86.

“We are absolutely devastated by the passing of our beloved Hank. He was a beacon for our organization first as a player, then with player development, and always with our community efforts. His incredible talent and resolve helped him achieve the highest accomplishments, yet he never lost his humble nature. Henry Louis Aaron wasn’t just our icon, but one across Major League Baseball and around the world. His success on the diamond was matched only by his business accomplishments off the field and capped by his extraordinary philanthropic efforts.

We are heartbroken and thinking of his wife Billye and their children Gaile, Hank, Jr., Lary, Dorinda and Ceci and his grandchildren.” – from Terry McGuirk, Braves Chairman
