Actress Alyssa Milano sparked heated reactions on social media after she posted a request for donations.
The left-wing activist’s name was trending on X with a post on Thursday that has garnered over 4.3 million views. Milano reached out to fans and followers after she set up a fundraiser on the GoFundMe website for her son’s baseball team.
“My son’s baseball team is raising money for their Cooperstown trip. Any amount would be so greatly appreciated. You can read more about the team and make a donation here,” she wrote.

“Here we are with loser Hollywood elitist Super Lib Alyssa Milano and her talent agent husband, David Bugliari, begging, via a GoFundMe, for people to donate money to their son’s 12U travel baseball team so it can make a cross-country journey to Cooperstown, New York to play at the Dreams Park that every travel ball kid dreams about these days instead of playing in Williamsport at the Little League World Series,” Outkick’s Joe Kinsey noted.
The crowdfunding page appears to have been created in May 2023 and has raised $7,225 out of the $10,000 goal. As of this writing, the funds have been raised with 233 donations.
The GoFundMe page, set up by Milano under her married name explains that the “Birds 12U team is coached by two great coaches and our team is diverse, hardworking and really good. We’ve won many championship rings!”
“We hope you will make a donation to keep our team competitive. Your donation will go to travel costs, uniforms, and dues for families. We also might use your donations for pins or novelty items to make our tournaments memorable experiences beyond the field,” she wrote.
The post on X asking for donations went viral, with many reminding the 51-year-old former “Who’s the Boss” star how much she is worth.
Alyssa is worth a reported $10 million. And look, having traveled to 3 tournaments last summer in 3 different cities in 3 different states, I get it. It’s beyond expensive. But to ask for donations here given her worth and the fact her husband is a CAA agent is really something. https://t.co/pswZDaJ5i9

Cowardly uber rich Alyssa Milano turned off her comments and commenced to beg the poor for money, because she knows she’ll reamed and ratio’d for her audacity. She’s getting reamed and ratio’d in the quote tweets. As she should. Her net worth is $10M. It’s the audacity for me. https://t.co/Rk8z9Y6x0l

The wildest thing about Alyssa Milano asking for donations is that I wouldn’t even do that in a small town as a relatively financially comfortable person just because it would seem tacky but to be an actual household name rich celebrity?!? BOLD. EXTRA BOLD.

@Alyssa_Milano Like a good socialist, Alicia is teaching her kid the value of other people’s money. https://t.co/vFvGhDXArp

I’m starting a GoFundMe Page to raise money for Car-Wash supplies (sponges/soap/etc.) so @Alyssa_Milano kids can raise money to go to Cooperstown for a baseball trip. #AlyssaMilano
