MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins make a strong effort to give back to the community every year, and 2017 was no different, as Minnesota led several successful charity initiatives, especially through the Twins Community Fund.
The Twins Community Fund, celebrating its 26th year, aims to assist in providing resources for children to play baseball and softball, such as renovated fields, new equipment, grants for coaches and clinics put on by current and former Twins players.
One of the biggest charity initiatives of the season came during their annual Hope Week, which was held from May 15-21. Several players took part, including Byron Buxton, Joe Mauer, Chris Gimenez, Glen Perkins and Brian Dozier.
