Kyle Schwarber is giving back to where he came from.
As the son of a police chief and nurse, Schwarber has always been inspired by servicemen and women and their devotion to duty. That’s mainly why he launched “Neighborhood Heroes” in May.
The campaign’s sole purpose is to recognize first responders and show appreciation for their courage and heroism.
Schwarber’s father, Greg, was a police chief in Middletown, Ohio for more than 30 years. The Cubs outfielder remembers his father picking him up from school and taking him to the police station or to a crime scene.
