BREAKING DRAMA: Max Muncy Donates Entire $20 Million Bonus and Sponsorship Deal to Charity — “If I Could Be One of Those People…”

In a powerful and deeply moving act of generosity, Max Muncy, the veteran slugger for the Los Angeles Dodgers, has donated his entire $20 million bonus and sponsorship earnings to support charities and homeless relief organizations across the United States.

Muncy, known for his grit on the field and humility off of it, made the announcement through a heartfelt personal statement that is now resonating across the sports world:

“There are millions of people struggling every day — families without homes, children without food, veterans without support,” Muncy said. “If I could be one of those people, even for a moment, I’d want to know that someone out there still cared. That’s what this is about.”

According to close sources, Muncy made the decision privately, immediately following the receipt of his offseason bonus and brand sponsorship deal.

Beneficiaries include:

Feeding America – to combat child and family hunger

National Veterans Homeless Support (NVHS) – for veteran-specific shelters and medical outreach

Los Angeles Mission – Muncy’s hometown partner for street-level homeless relief

A newly founded initiative called “The Muncy Hope Fund” – focused on helping homeless teens in Southern California with shelter, education, and mental health care
