Dave Winfield was the first active athlete to establish a charitable foundation. From its humble beginnings in 1975, to an internationally acclaimed substance abuse prevention leader, the David M. Winfield Foundation, with a $4 million endowment (funded primarily by Winfield), provided services to underprivileged youth, families in need, and the cities in which he played.
