Winner's Circle History
Mike Schmidt’s Winner’s Circle Charities
When Rob Thomson of Waterfront Properties and Steve Moynihan of HMY Yachts joined as hosts with Mike in 2012, the impact and outreach of our efforts grew tremendously. We continue to form new valuable relationships, and these partnerships all work together to raise funds. It is an exciting time for the Winner’s Circle family.
Mike might be one of the greatest baseball players of all time, but his commitment and dedication to charitable fundraising gives him something intangible for which there is no Hall of Fame, a legacy of making a difference in many lives.
From all of us at WCC, here’s to our past winners with hopes of many more to come.
