What is Strike Out Hunger?
Atlanta Braves pitcher John Smoltz knows it's important to build a better community. That's why John is helping the Atlanta Community Food Bank strike out hunger. And we need your help, too! You can help Georgians in need by joining John's Strike Out Hunger team. John is donating $200 to the Food Bank for every strikeout this season. And you can receive a sports item autographed by John for every pledge YOU make.
Want to make a difference?
