On Dec. 5 in Wichita, Kan., Koyie Hill  catcher for the Chicgo Cubs hosted a fundraiser for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Kansas. More than 2,000 people attended the event which raised $149,322. The money will allow 25 wishes to be granted for the children with life-threatening illnesses in the state of Kansas. It's was his chance to give back.

"Growing up, I don't think there are many baseball players who didn't have somebody they looked up to," Hill said "I always thought it was a big treat when you finally got to meet that guy and he was everything you thought he was. I just think it's good when people are in a position to make a difference and they do it."
