Pete Crow-Armstrong, the Chicago Cubs’ rising star, has donated his entire million-dollar bonus and sponsorship earnings to a homeless shelter initiative. This funding will support the construction of new housing units and shelter beds, addressing a critical need in Chicago.
Known for his .270/.305/.550 slash line, 19 home runs, and 23 stolen bases in 2025, Crow-Armstrong’s on-field success is matched by his off-field impact. Cubs manager Craig Counsell notes, “We are going to see things still that we haven’t seen from Pete,” a sentiment now extending to his charitable efforts.
Building on the Cubs’ charitable legacy, including Respect 90 and NVRQT, Crow-Armstrong’s donation sets a new benchmark. Social media buzz calls it a “game-changer,” aligning with Chicago’s efforts to combat homelessness.
With thousands in Chicago facing homelessness, this donation offers immediate relief and long-term hope. It may inspire a wave of athlete philanthropy across MLB.
