"I've always had a soft spot for animals and nature, so donating to the Friends of the Wildlife Discovery Center was easy for me as they continue to educate and care for a wide variety of mammals, birds, and reptiles," Moll shared. "Many of these animals were abused and neglected and now have a beautiful home where they serve as ambassadors to teach students around my area about the environment."
The Double Play Matching Gifts Program is a powerful initiative that allows active Major League, Minor League, and former Major League Players to maximize their impact on the communities they care about. Through this program, players like Sam can double their contributions to organizations making a difference in their regions.
Sam's recognition of our work means the world to our team. His support helps us continue bringing immersive wildlife experiences to students across the Mid-South. Our ambassador animals—many of whom have been rescued from difficult situations—now serve as educators, inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards through hands-on learning experiences.
Sam's commitment to environmental education reflects the values we hold dear at the WDC. His generosity will directly support our mission to make high-quality environmental education accessible to all students, regardless of their school's resources or location.
We're honored to be recognized by the Players Trust and grateful to Sam Moll for championing our cause. This partnership reminds us that when we work together—whether on the field or in the classroom—we can create lasting change for our communities and our planet.
Join Sam Moll in supporting wildlife education and conservation in the Mid-South.
