Past just his remarkable achievements on the diamond, Los Angeles Dodgers superstar Freddie Freeman is making some big contributions off the field as well.
Freeman and his wife, Chelsea, are reportedly donating $1 million to the Children’s Hospital of Orange County, per ESPN’s Jeff Passan.
According to Passan, the Freemans’ son Maximus recovered at that hospital following a severe case of Guillain-Barré syndrome, which left him in their pediatric intensive-care unit for more than a week last year.
“Seeing every room full in the PICU each and every day impacted Chelsea and (me) deeply,” Freeman said to ESPN. “Getting to know the doctors, nurses and care teams and seeing how they show up each day to bring healing and hope to kids and their families was inspiring. CHOC saved Maximus’ life.”
The Freemans are well known for their charity work, having donated $300,000 to relief efforts when Los Angeles dealt with wildfires earlier in 2025.
While with the Atlanta Braves in 2020, Freddie pledged $125,000 to local charities and community organizations trying to help support families and employees out of work at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. For his help with relief efforts in 2020, he was the Braves’ Roberto Clemente Award nominee.
