Charities
As a part of the broadcast, several charities still receive money when the Cubs do certain things on the field. This feature is ubiquitous in MLB local broadcasts, and has continued after Santo's death (with the same charities). As Santo was a type 1 diabetic, the beneficiaries tend to be charities related to his condition—namely hospitals and most notably the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. For example, for any Cubs player that draws a base on balls, Walgreens still donates money to JDRF.

Famous quotes containing the word charities:
“The wonderful purity of nature at this season is a most pleasing fact.... In the bare fields and tinkling woods, see what virtue survives. In the coldest and bleakest places, the warmest charities still maintain a foothold.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
