DID YOU KNOW? The Red Sox like to be their best, so they started the Red Sox Foundation, a non-profit organization that helps children and families across New England. • We provide scholarships for students who have dreams of going to college through the Red Sox Scholars and New England Red Sox Service Scholarship programs. • We support baseball and softball programs for boys and girls, ages 5 to 18, through our RBI and Rookie Leagues. We also sponsor Little League teams in Massachusetts. • We help veterans and their families through the Home Base Program. • We support the Jimmy Fund and The Dimock Center, which help children and adults who need medical treatment or health services.
Find out how you can help and “B Your Best!” Learn more about the Red Sox Foundation: redsoxfoundation.org
