The Most Valuable Philanthropist award recognizes a Player whose efforts have made a positive impact in the causes and communities personal to him. The MVP award is offered three times over the course of the regular season, celebrating the individual Player who demonstrates an altruistic spirit and positive social impact beyond the diamond.

 

The winner of this award will receive a grant in his name to the charity of his choice, as well as automatic consideration for the new Philanthropist of the Year Award which is given at the end of the year.
