  • How Astros' Alex Bregman aims to help HS baseball players get exposure

    His foundation, Bregman Cares Foundation, has provided support for kids with autism, while also helping feed families in the community during the COVID-19 pandemic. Six months ago, Bregman and his hitting coach, Jason Columbus, said they had a new idea inspired by the Astros' annual college tournament—the Minute Maid Classic.

  • Alex Bregman reveals the inspiration behind his foundation ‘Bregman Cares’

    When he’s not winning World Championship rings, Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman is committed to making a difference in the lives of children with autism through his foundation ‘Bregman Cares.’

    And there’s a personal reason why this cause is so dear to his heart, his godson Brady Columbus is autistic.

  • Chester Pitts and Reagan Bregman among those uniting for dodgeball charity challenge this summer

    "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball," to borrow a quote from the movie, "Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story."

    No wrenches will be thrown at this event, though, the "Ultimate Most Dopest Dodgeball Charity Challenge" is still expected to bring just as much competition.

    Some famous friends are uniting not just for fun and games, but to raise money for a variety of charities, especially since help hasn't been easy to come by over the last few years due to the pandemic.

  • Astros' Alex Bregman hosts water distribution event

    Astros third baseman Alex Bregman stepped up to help Houstonians who are hurting right now due to the catastrophic outages from this week's winter storm.

    Bregman, his wife Reagan, the Astros Foundation and Brothers Produce hosted a water distribution event Saturday at the Astros Youth Academy.

    "We are grateful to help Houstonians in need," Bregman said in a tweet.

  • Alex Bregman wants to help

    Nothing else matters to 8-year-old Brady Columbus when it’s Alex Bregman’s turn to bat. The toys he’s playing with can wait. The puzzles can be put together later. The world comes to a stop when Bregman steps into the batter’s box, which is when Brady darts in front of the television and plops down with his father on the couch to watch.

    Bregman, the Astros’ 27-year-old star third baseman, could hit a home run or strike out and Brady is going to cheer for him just the same. The results of the at-bat are of no consequence to him, though his father certainly has a bit more of a vested interest (more on that later). But once Bregman disappears from the TV screen, so does Brady.

  • Houston Astros star and Mattress Mack step up to the plate for locals in need

    in a perfect world, Houston Astros third baseman Alex Bregman would be blasting home runs and brilliantly fielding hits in Minute Maid Park and in Major League Baseball stadiums across the country.

    But with the COVID-19 pandemic shutting MLB operations down for the foreseeable future, the Astros fan favorite has turned his attention to helping Houstonians who may have been overlooked in the news: those experiencing food insecurity.

    To that end, the Bregman has launched FEEDHOU, a $1 million fundraising campaign to help feed Houston-area residents experiencing food insecurity during the COVID-19 crisis. Proceeds from the campaign directly benefit the Houston Food Bank, according to organizers.
