“It’s such a part of the DNA of being a member of the White Sox organization, and really, it wasn’t a heavy lift at all,” said

Christine O’Reilly-Riordan, the White Sox vice president of community relations and a B.A.T. board member.

I always remembered Christine O’Reilly as the White Sox charities director that Hawk would interview and ogle over during broadcasts back in the day.  Is she somehow related to Score goon Shane Riordan?

Jerry is probably doing it for a sweet tax writeoff 

Lipman, lol?  Probably something to this, actually, in terms of writing off donations/in kind gifts of equipment to Sox/Bulls, ACE or Jackie Robinson, etc.

I don't know what the tax laws are in this case, sorry.

To his credit JR has always been very good about donating to good causes, Billy Pierce told me about all the money he donated to help Chicago Cancer Charities for example.

It's unfortunate that he doesn't seem to care as much about the product he puts on the field.

Let's not pretend that almost all ultrarich giving is done for exactly that reason, and yet they were still rated that high.

Cynicism is a good thing and I’m a frequent user myself but if you donate $100 to a charity and your tax rate is 25% you save $25 in taxes and you’re still out the $75 difference.
