Derek Jeter’s latest event for his nonprofit, the Turn 2 Foundation, was a big hit. Jeter is as known for his works of charity as for his twenty-season baseball career. Only a year after his debut in Major League Baseball, the Hall of Famer established the organization to help kids turn to healthy lifestyles. Inspired by his father, who used to work as a substance abuse counselor, Jeter started the foundation that has now raised more than $34 million in charity.

One event that the former shortstop holds annually is the Derek Jeter Celebrity Invitational golf game. This year saw many A-listers, from professional athletes to actors, grace the event. One of them even thanked the former baseballer for having him there.
