Beyond the game, The Lucky Classic is about making a difference. Proceeds benefit the Burger Family Foundation, which supports families of children with disabilities through direct aid and community programs. The foundation was inspired by Jake and Ashlyn's daughter, Penelope, who was born with Down syndrome. Their mission is to promote inclusion and provide resources such as therapy, financial support, and community through ranch life experiences. Jake proudly wears number 21 to honor Trisomy 21 and those with Down syndrome, including Penelope, whose inspiring journey captured hearts after her successful heart surgery during spring training.
