D-backs hit Grand Slam with community outreach

PHOENIX -- Asking D-backs team president/CEO Derrick Hall to name his organization's favorite community program is a lot like asking a parent which of their children they like best.

The answer is he likes them all equally and he takes pride in the fact that the team recently surpassed $42 million in charitable efforts during the franchise's existence.

But, the Grand Slam Awards are special because of the impact they can make on a given charity. As part of the program the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation gives up to $100,000 each to selected charities.

"It is a way for us to have significant impact on several people, organizations and communities throughout all of Arizona," Hall said.
