Alyssa Milano’s attempts to raise money for her son’s baseball team struck out with social media users who criticized the actor and producer for seeking donations.

Milano shared a GoFundMe on Thursday to help raise money for her 12-year-old son’s team trip to Cooperstown, New York.

“Any amount would be so greatly appreciated. You can read more about the team and make a donation,” she wrote in a post on X.

Many people on X called out Milano for not covering the trip herself.
