"Ashlyn and I couldn't be more excited to bring The Lucky Classic to Nashville this off-season," shares Jake. "This city is home for us, and we wanted to create something that blends our two worlds, music and baseball, while giving back to a community we love. The outpouring of support for The Burger Family Foundation and the Down syndrome community has already been incredible, and we can't wait to see everyone at the ballpark for a day of fun, connection, and unforgettable memories."

Inspired by their daughter, Penelope, who was diagnosed with Down Syndrome, The Burger Family Foundation started as a dream to make a difference and has turned into a mission to champion inclusion, celebrate abilities, and support families like the Burger's in meaningful ways. Through direct financial assistance, therapy, community, and the healing power of ranch life, The Burger Family Foundation is building spaces that foster hope, purpose, and belonging.

As the only active MLB player with a child with Down Syndrome, Jake kicked off his tenure with the Rangers by changing his jersey number to 21. The infielder is now sporting the number 21 to represent Trisomy 21 and the extra copy of the 21st chromosome those with Down Syndrome carry. The Burger's learned early on in Ashlyn's pregnancy that Penelope would have Down Syndrome and immediately turned to their faith, confident they were given their platforms to tell Penelope's story and advocate for all children with disabilities.
