Recently-retired Major League Baseball pitcher Greg Maddux, a shoe-in for the Baseball Hall of Fame when he becomes eligible in 2014, is doing what he loves most with his newfound free time. It’s all about family, golf and community now.

So when he received the request to donate his time for an auction package to raise money for Lied Discovery Children’s Museum in Las Vegas, he willingly obliged.

“If my being on the golf course helps the kids in my hometown, then that’s where I need to be,” said Maddux, whose own charity, the Greg Maddux Foundation, will also benefit from whatever is ultimately raised.

The children’s museum, which serves more than 100,000 visitors a year and is the only one of its kind in Las Vegas, recently put together an “exclusive dream trip” package that is highlighted by a round of golf with Maddux at Cascata Golf Club, one of Southern Nevada’s most prestigious and exclusive golfing experiences.

Through the generosity of US Airways, Luxury Suites International, On Demand Sedan & Limousine, and Wolfgang Puck, the museum was able to create a package people from outside Las Vegas might find irresistible. Maddux played in Atlanta, Chicago, San Diego and Los Angeles, so the museum is hoping fans from those markets might compete with each other for the honor of teeing it up with Maddux.

“eBay is the perfect instrument to get this unique, one-of-a-kind experience out to as many people as possible,” said Linda Quinn, the museum’s executive director.
