PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Phillies pitcher Jesús Luzardo is sinking his teeth into a good cause.

Before Saturday's game against the Braves, he is hosting his inaugural "Cheesesteaks for Charity."

For a donation of $15, fans can sample a cheesesteak from Philip's in South Philadelphia.

It is happening on Citizens Bank Way, near the third base gate, from 4 to 6 p.m.

The event is hosted by the Jesús Luzardo Family Foundation. Proceeds will benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of Philadelphia, as part of the mission of the Jesus Luzardo Family Foundation.



"Supporting the youth of Philadelphia is at the heart of our mission. The Boys & Girls Club gives kids the tools to succeed, and we're proud to stand behind their work," said Luzardo.
