About The Miguel Cabrera Foundation
The Miguel Cabrera Foundation was founded on Miguel's belief that we can achieve great things when we: WORK HARD, DREAM BIG, AND HELP OTHERS. Miguel's philosophy was shaped by being the only contemporary baseball player to achieve MLB's prestigious Triple Crown, a recognition that truly awards a transformational player. Miguel Cabrera's dream of becoming an accomplished baseball player has inspired him and his wife, Rosangel Cabrera, to focus the foundation on two specific activities: Revitalizing baseball fields in schools and neighborhoods where athletics can be used as a catalyst for student engagement and achievement and providing academic scholarships.
