Stay up to date with the latest news, updates, and events from Curtis and the Grand Kids Foundation.
Curtis Granderson has an annual tradition of wearing specialty cleats for Jackie Robinson Day to honor baseball’s trailblazing icon. He wanted to do something similar this year, but with a little bit of a twist.
Granderson officially joined the Blue Jays earlier this week on a one-year deal worth $5 million. He’s expected to platoon in left field alongside Steve Pearce, and receive the majority of the at-bats vs. right-handed pitchers.
Commissioner Rob Manfred announced before Game 3 of the World Series on Friday night at Wrigley Field that the 13-year veteran was being given the award that annually recognizes the player who best represents baseball through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy and positive contributions both on and off the field.
Professional outfielder Curtis Granderson donated 5 million dollars for the construction of the Curtis Granderson Stadium at the University of Illinois at Chicago, his alma mater, where he works out in the off-season.
Curtis Granderson is celebrating the 10-year anniversary of his charity, Grand Kids.
My dad couldn’t be here in #Toronto today because he’s playing softball in our hometown of #Chicago, so I rocked his jersey pre-game (#14 was my high school number). I guess my love for this game runs in my blood. Love you dad, have a great day today. #HappyFathersDay
4If you love t-shirts or if you don’t get one of these free ones, you can grab one of my #GrandyManCAN shirts (benefiting my #GrandKids Foundation) at the @BlueJays team stores & online!
Today, I honored the legacy of Gina Maltese of Woodbridge, Ontario. Gina was a devoted wife, mother and teacher who dedicated her life to supporting her family and students - much like my own mom. Learn more about our mobile fundraiser here: https://t.co/slzwzNqfDm
