Alyssa Milano starts GoFundMe to fund her son’s travel baseball team, receives immediate backlash

Former Charmed star Alyssa Milano is yet again under fire, this time for starting a GoFundMe for her son’s travel baseball team to take a trip to Cooperstown.

In the post, the actress says,

Baseball is life and our teamates are our brothers. Baseball gives us purpose and we are driven to be our very best. In order to compete, we must raise funds.

The Birds 12U team is coached by two great coaches and our team is diversehardworking and really good. We’ve won many championship rings!

Our coaches instill lessons not just about baseball. They teach us leadership and life-skills. They are good people. We are lucky to have them.

We hope you will make a donation to keep our team competitive. Your donation will go to travel costs, uniforms, and dues for families. We also might use your donations for pins or novelty items to make our tournaments memorable experiences beyond the field.

Thank you so much for your consideration. We won’t let you down,

The Birds

She was immediately met with harsh criticism from those that feel that a lifelong TV star should not be groveling for money online.

Milano responded, “I would if I could” to one particular Tweet questioning why she didn’t pay for the trip herself.
