Gerrit Cole's wife Amy takes mirror selfie in black oversized hoodie to raise awareness for a major cause
Gerrit Cole's wife Amy became the latest MLB spouse to support "Dressember," joining the partners of Trea Turner, J.T. Realmuto, and Nick Castellanos. Amy showed support for the initiative with her latest social media post.
On Friday, Amy shared a mirror selfie on her Instagram story. She was dressed in a black oversized hoodie and black shoes. Her loose blonde hair complemented the look perfectly. Her eldest son, Caden, also appeared in the selfie, gazing at his mother.
Amy's dress had "UNTIL ALL ARE FREE" printed on it and she also tagged International Justice Mission and The Increase Women on the story.
"Participating in [Dressember] & the fight against human trafficking with [IJM] and [Increase women]" - Amy captioned the post.
The International Justice Mission is a nonprofit organization fighting to promote global equality, while The Increase Women is a Christian community for women involved in sports. Jackson Holliday's mother Leslee is an active member of this community.
Realmuto, Turner, and Castellanos are Philadelphia Phillies teammates. Recently, Trea Turner's wife Kristen thanked J.T. Realmuto's wife Lexi for introducing the social cause. Even before, Nick Castellanos' wife Jessica also thanked Lexi.
Gerrit Cole's wife Amy brings "Dressember" to focus
Before sharing the mirror selfie on her Instagram, Gerrit Cole's wife, Amy, had reposted a combined Instagram post from IJM and Dressember on her story. Likely intended to educate her followers, the October 16 Instagram post detailed the who, what, when, where, and how of the social cause.
Every December, advocates wear a dress, tie, or dress up to raise funds and awareness against human trafficking. Since 2013, over 280,000 supporters have raised $20 million to support victims, survivors, and at-risk communities.
Funds from the cause benefit the Global Survivor Network, front-line partners, and IJM programs in Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, empowering survivors and aiding victims.
Amy has been married to Gerrit Cole since November 2016. The couple met at UCLA, where Cole played baseball, and Amy played softball. Interestingly, Amy’s older brother is recently retired San Francisco Giants legend Brandon Crawford.
Amy and Gerrit Cole have two sons, Caden, born on June 30, 2020, and Everett, born on January 2, 2023. Together, they are also dedicated to charitable work through the Gerrit & Amy Cole Foundation, which aims to improve the quality of life for children across the U.S.
