About Us
The Kyle Tucker Foundation was founded by MLB outfielder Kyle Tucker and his family with a heartfelt mission: to raise awareness and provide support for hospice care programs, while also giving back to other meaningful causes in the community.
Hospice is more than healthcare - it’s compassion in action. By focusing on pain and symptom management and offering support, hospice helps patients and their loved ones navigate some of life’s most challenging moments with grace and peace.
Inspired by his own family's experience, the foundation comes from a deeply personal place - his grandfather passed away under hospice care in 2021 and the experience left a lasting impact on his family. Witnessing the compassion, dignity, and comfort that hospice provided during such a difficult time inspired Kyle to give back and help ensure other families receive the same level of care and support.
Focused on building a legacy of care, comfort & community, the Kyle Tucker Foundation reaches beyond its core mission to proudly support a range of charitable efforts in the Tampa Bay, Chicago, and Houston communities - cities that hold a special place in Kyle’s journey on and off the field.
