Cardinals’ Kyler Murray hosting 1st annual celebrity softball game for charity

Arizona Cardinals franchise quarterback Kyler Murray is looking to give back through his foundation’s first annual softball game.

Slated for May 17 at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale, the Kyler Murray Foundation’s softball game is expected to include fellow Cardinals Marvin Harrison Jr., Trey McBride and James Conner and Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens, among other celebrities from the sports and entertainment worlds.

All proceeds for the game will go directly toward benefitting local programs in underserved communities.

“This game is about bringing the community together while supporting causes that matter,” Murray said in press release. “I’m excited to share this experience with fans, friends and fellow athletes while making a positive impact in Arizona.”

Those planning to attend can also enjoy music, concessions, games, chess and other activities in the “fan zone.”

Tickets for the event are on sale now. General admission is $19. VIP and on-field experiences are also available. Kids 2 and under are free.

Murray is embarking on his seventh season as Arizona’s starting quarterback. He completed 68.8% of his passes for 3,851 yards and 21 touchdowns to 11 interceptions last season. The signal caller also ran for 572 yards and five scores on 78 carries.

He finished 10th in Comeback Player of the Year voting.

What is the Kyler Murray Foundation?

The Kyler Murray Foundation’s mission is “to inspire and support youth by providing educational resources and athletic opportunities, fostering a foundation for success in life.”

In addition to the upcoming softball game, Murray has given back to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley and the Arizona Education Foundation since coming to Arizona as the No. 1 overall pick in 2019.
