Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation Joe Torre, together with his wife Ali, founded the Joe Torre Safe At Home Foundation in 2002 to end the cycle of violence and abuse through education and to create a world where every young person feels safe, supported, and empowered. Joe is known for his 60-year baseball career and for being a nine-time All-Star, Hall of Famer, Broadcaster, Executive, and manager for the Mets, Braves, Cardinals, Yankees, and Dodgers. But behind all the success was a hidden story—he grew up in an abusive home, carrying the pain of fear, isolation, and shame. As he came to terms with those experiences, he and Ali were moved to make sure no child felt as alone as he once did. At the heart of Safe At Home is Margaret's Place, named in honor of Joe's mother. Margaret's Place creates safe spaces inside schools, offering healing, understanding, and empowerment. Through trauma-informed intervention and prevention services, every child learns what healthy relationships look like, how to care for themselves and each other, and how to support friends in need—so that they feel safer and braver at school, at home, and wherever they go.
