FOX Sports Announces Expansion of Its Community Impact Initiative “Gamechanger Fund” to 2023 Major League Baseball World Series

FOX Sports World Series Scholarship Established to Benefit

Boys & Girls Clubs of America and its National Youth of the Year Program

FOX MLB Studio Analyst Alex Rodriguez Hosts Organization’s 2023 National Youth of the Year During World Series this Saturday for Game Two on FOX

LOS ANGELES – FOX Sports, America’s home for Major League Baseball’s World Series for the past two decades, announces today it’s furthering its commitment to harnessing the power of sport for positive social change with the expansion of the FOX Sports Gamechanger Fund community impact initiative.

Forging a lasting connection between its annual presentation of the Fall Classic and Boys & Girls Clubs of America, FOX Sports has created the inaugural FOX Sports World Series Scholarship to benefit the longtime nonprofit partner and its National Youth of the Year program.

“As a Club kid, having access to a Boys & Girls Club was instrumental in my upbringing,” said Eric Shanks, CEO and Executive Producer, FOX Sports. “I’m proud to further FOX Sports’ commitment to the organization and support Club kids’ pursuit of higher education with this scholarship while recognizing their outstanding leadership, service, academic excellence and promise of a bright future.”

The FOX Sports World Series Scholarship honors the accomplishments of Boys & Girls Clubs of America’s National Youth of the Year, the teen ambassador for more than 3.3 million Boys & Girls Club youth across the country, and is granted to their hometown Club. World Series champion, FOX MLB Studio Analyst and former “Club kid” Alex Rodriguez will present the scholarship to 2023 National Youth of the Year, Alejandra L., on behalf of her hometown Club in McAllen, Texas before Game 2 of the 2023 World Series on Saturday, October 28. Prior to the first pitch, Alejandra will deliver the game ball to the mound at Globe Life Field and be honored by Major League Baseball through its partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

Additionally, during its coverage of the World Series, FOX Sports will spotlight Alejandra’s achievement and inspiring story across its linear and digital platforms, emphasizing the critically important services Boys & Girls Clubs provide for many young people in America to ensure a great future.

“Being named National Youth of the Year is an incredible achievement – and an even bigger responsibility as they represent the voices of millions of Club kids around the country,” said Rodriguez, who sits on the Board of Governors for Boys & Girls Clubs of America. “It’s an honor to present the inaugural FOX Sports World Series Scholarship to Alejandra and help FOX Sports open doors to positive futures for more Club kids like me.”

FOX Sports’ Gamechanger Fund was founded in 2020 to benefit nonprofit partners in its Super Bowl host cities and further the company’s mission to create and advance fighting chances for underserved youth and our nation’s military heroes as a part of its FOX Sports Supports corporate social responsibility initiative.

FOX Sports has been a longtime supporter of Boys & Girls Clubs at the local, regional and national levels and has made the Clubs a featured beneficiary of the Gamechanger Fund since its inception in 2020 at Super Bowl LIV in Miami. Presented to Boys & Girls Clubs of Miami-Dade, the Gamechanger Fund equipped the club’s youth to explore future careers in television, digital and social media production and enabled the organization to provide needed upgrades to its four teen centers. At Super Bowl LVII in Arizona earlier this year, the Gamechanger Fund supported the creation of Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley’s new AZYouthforce West Valley Career Readiness Center to prepare teens for internships and permanent jobs while also granting the FOX Sports Super Bowl LVII Scholarship to Arizona’s representatives for the Youth of the Year and Military Youth of the Year programs.

Boys & Girls Clubs of America is a nationwide nonprofit organization enabling all young people to reach their full potential as productive, caring and responsible citizens. More than 5,200 Boys & Girls Clubs provide a safe place for more than 3.3 million young people nationwide, providing innovative programs designed to empower them to excel in school, become good citizens and lead healthy, productive lives.
