Former Seattle Mariners’ pitcher Jamie Moyer and his wife Karen established the Moyer Foundation in 2000. The Foundation’s mission is to empower children in distress and with the community’s support, the Foundation has created and funds programs to give children the tools and skills to overcome life’s greatest challenges.
