Meanwhile, her fiancé, Justin Verlander, is passionate about helping veterans who have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Additionally, Kate is an actress while Justin is an athlete, so they wield enough influence.
The couple decided to hold an annual event they named the Grand Slam Adoption. This event is yearly held at the Joker Marchant Stadium in Lakeland, Florida. Ever since the activity began in 2017, Kate and Justin have already extended help to homeless dogs and veterans suffering from PTSD.
Since they are the event organizers, the couple is generous enough to provide attendees with giveaways, face painting, and food. Kate, meanwhile, likewise granted the request of her fans for photographs and autographs.
It is a win-win yearly event because the couple would always amass several numbers of attendees. In return, Kate and Justin would have raised enough funds for the homeless dogs and the veterans from the Wins for Warriors Foundation.
According to the couple, they did not expect the massive support they received from different people. Nevertheless, the two are thankful because there are still people supportive of this kind of undertakings. Kate and Justin likewise noted that the event becomes more famous as the years move forward.
Meanwhile, in her capacity as an actress, Kate uses her platform and influence to tell her fans to adopt homeless dogs. This way, these dogs would have a better chance at life. For Kate, they will always do this kind of activity because they could see the positive effects it gives to people. It may be a thankless job, but Kate promises to continue with what she and her fiancé started.
