Swish’s Wishes
The Nick Swisher Foundation’s “Swish’s Wishes” is dedicated to enriching lives and lifting the spirits of children who are facing vital health issues while providing care, comfort and support through the most difficult of times.
We are broad-based in our focus so that we can be flexible and help all kids in need as much as we can. The most important thing is that we put to work 100% of the funds that comes into the foundation and get into the hands of non profit organizations that help the kids that need it the most. On July 1st, 2009 we celebrated our 2nd anniversary and we look forward to many more.
If you’re ever in New York, there is a simple and deliscious way to donate to the foundation. Simply stop by Foley’s in midtown New York and order some “Swish and Chips.” This dish was named after me and every time it’s ordered, a donation is made to Swish’s Wishes. Fish and chips AND donating to charity? Does it get any better?
To donate by check, please send to:

Strikeouts For Troops
Strikeouts For Troops was founded by my good friend and former teammate Barry Zito. They raise funds to provide ‘comforts of home’ to our war wounded heroes while being cared for at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Bethesda Naval Hospital, Brooke Army and other military hospitals. Strikeouts For Troops also provides assistance to their children and families.
Strikeouts for Troops is non partisan and 100% of the money raised is sent directly to help our wounded. This is my 5th season to participate in Strikeouts For Troops and I am proud to say that I honor and support America’s Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Coast Guard and Marines working to keep us safe and free.
