Cubs: Kyle Tucker
In 2022, Tucker founded the Kyle Tucker Foundation to build a legacy of compassion by supporting hospice care programs and honoring those who provide this essential service. This is a deeply personal mission for Tucker, as his family witnessed the extraordinary compassion of hospice caregivers as they cared for his grandfather in his final days. Leading the charge of Tucker’s foundation is Hospice Heroes, which spotlights caregivers in hospice care who are highlighted throughout the year across social media and the annual Day at the Park.
Did Clemente not catch easy fly balls or not hit for months?
Anyone who has seen dying family members benefit from the special skills and gentle kindness of hospice workers can appreciate how extraordinary the people are who go into this line of work. I think it’s great that Kyle Tucker is supporting and honoring them through his foundation.
