To honor his late brother-in-law, Scottie, Daulton's passion for supporting those affected by pediatric cancer goes beyond the city of Pittsburgh as he makes stops at and brings smiles to children's hospitals even when the team is on the road.
This is Daulton Jefferies, and he is a supporter of and advocate for Scottie's Gift Foundation.
The mission of @ScottiesGift is to bring love, joy, and comfort to newly diagnosed pediatric cancer patients and their families.
Daulton and the Foundation are also doing something really cool with UPMC Children’s Hospital (@ChildrensPgh). He has partnered with @BraveGowns and you can buy these @Pirates jersey themed gowns for just $25 to donate to the kids at UPMC Children’s. Link is in the tweet below!⬇️

Scott was diagnosed with T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma back in 2017. But, what is T-Cell Lymphoblastic Lymphoma? It is a rare form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma that affects immature lymphocytes. It primarily affects children. #CancerFacts#ScottiesGift#NonProfit#PediatricCancer
Globally, every 3 minutes a family hears the devastating words that their child has been diagnosed with cancer. After those words, everything changes. Life turns into hospital stays, endless appointments, blood draws, tests and chemotherapy. #CancerFacts#NonProfit
