The Jorge Posada Foundation was established by New York All Star catcher Jorge Posada and his wife Laura. The JPF supports athletic programs for children both in New York as well in Puerto Rico. The foundation also supports organizations that work with children who suffer from craniosynostosis. Craniosynostosis is a medical condition which occurs when the bones in a baby's skull fuse together before the brain has stopped growing. While certain craniosynostosis can be detected at birth, others are not obvious for several months. Jorge Posada and wife Laura's son Jorge Jr. was successfully treated for the condition. Latin Beat photographer Eddie Aguilar was the only photog allowed in to the August 13 fundraiser besides their own organization photographer. Thanks to Glee Ballard, proprietor of Copacabana
