NEW YORK — Miami Marlins and Team Bahamas standout Jazz Chisholm Jr. has quietly revealed his passion is bigger than baseball. The electrifying star has founded a heartfelt charity named after his parents’ Caribbean homeland, aiming to uplift the lives of underprivileged children through education, healthcare, and community support.
“The Caribbean gave me roots,” Chisholm said. “This is my way of honoring where we came from — by giving back to kids just like me, who dream big but don’t always have the resources.”
Chisholm’s fast-paced highlights and dazzling defense often steal the spotlight—but his love for giving back runs deeper. Inspired by his roots, the foundation offers tutoring programs, subsidized medical exams, and supply drives across Jamaica and the Bahamas—helping children overcome barriers that once stood in his own way.
While still early in its rollout, reaction has been powerful. Caribbean community leaders are praising its rapid impact, and European and Major League Baseball players have personally pledged support.
Marlins manager skip profoundly:
“He plays with heart, and he gives with heart,” Chisholm’s manager said. “That’s a special quality and it changes lives.”
For a generation of fans, Chisholm’s foundation proves that true greatness transcends highlight reels—it’s about lifting others, too. As one supporter said on Instagram: “He’s making us proud — on the field and off it.”
