Corey Seager and Madisyn's important philanthropic contributions in 2025

Corey Seager's philanthropic efforts will go a long way in making his case for the Roberto Clemente Award.

Seager and Madisyn raised over $130,000 via "Uncork for a Cause." The proceeds from the wine benefitting event went to the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation.

The shortstop worked with the school district’s Student Outreach Services program to host back-to-school shopping sprees for students in Arlington. Moreover, the construction of new batting cages as part of the renovation plans of Arlington Park was funded by the Seagers.

It remains to be seen if he wins the honor.
