To promote the game, around $18 billion was donated by major leagues for direct & indirect support for Boys & Girls Clubs of America. The Major League generated more than $3 million in aid for hurricane victims & donated the same to the American Red Cross. In a match to raise funds for the Prostate Cancer Foundation, almost all top players came together for Home Run Challenge & contributed $2.5 million for research.
