D-backs hit Grand Slam with community outreach
The D-backs unveil a new basketball court at the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Phoenix. (D-backs)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.
