With family connections to the armed forces, Rookie hot shot MLB Pitcher Paul Skenes started giving $10 per strikeout he pitched to the Gary Sinise Foundation to help military members and their families back when he was in college at LSU.

Since the start, fans have jumped on the bandwagon to support the effort as well, raising tens of thousands of dollars for the worthy cause. Skenes’ action shows how easily you can use what you are already doing to help others.
