Mission: The red sox foundation harnesses the passion of red sox nation to make a difference in the lives of children, veterans, families and communities throughout new england by improving their health, educational and recreational opportunities.
Programs: Red sox foundation and mgh home base program - the red sox foundation and mgh home base program serve veterans returning from iraq and afghanistan with traumatic brain injury or combat stress and their families. This program provides confidential clinical care for veterans, innovative treatments, support services and counseling for wounded veterans and families, community outreach and education to help others recognize these injuries and cutting edge research. In addition to raising over $17 million for the program, the red sox foundation also has made substantial investments in staff time and in kind resources to support this program and help promote it to military and veterans who need confidentiality and, if uninsured, free care for tbi and ptsd. The red sox foundation works with medical experts at mass general hospital who provide direct care services. Red sox foundation staff also work with military and veteran groups and their families to break through the stigma that often prevents veterans from seeking the help they need.
red sox scholars - the red sox scholar program provides mentoring, enrichment opportunities, and college scholarships to more than 260 academically talented low income students selected in boston's public schools when they are in the 7th grade. The scholars work with the red sox foundation staff throughout middle and high school. The goal is to ensure these at risk students escape the inner city's high school dropout rate and instead graduate from high school and are prepared to attend college. The program also provides each student with the promise of a college scholarship ranging in value from $5,000 to $10,000 - pending enrollment in an accredited college and continued good citizenship. The scholarships are paid directly to the college of choice, and not to the students or family members. The red sox scholars also participate in special activities at fenway park including attending red sox games, community service day, events with players and their wives, skills building, job fairs (for high school students) and college prep classes. In 2010, the red sox scholars program was nationally recognized when the team won the first-ever 'mlb commissioner's award for philantropic excellence' specifically for the red sox scholars program. The new england red sox service scholarships award college scholarships to public high school seniors across new england who demonstrate academic excellence and a commitment to community service.
rbi and rookie league baseball - the red sox foundation's rbi and rookie league programs provide inner city youth, from age 6 through age 19, the opportunity to learn valuable life skills while learning and playing baseball and softball. The red sox foundation's rookie league program provides supplies, equipment and enrichment opportunities to more than 1,000 youngsters aged 6-12 years, while the rbi program is more structured and serves more than 700 males and females up to age 19.Each spring, the red sox foundation funds uniforms, equipment, umpire fees and a community service day. Red sox foundation staff also help provide life-skill classes to 34 inner-city baseball and softball teams. The red sox foundation seeks to leverage the student's love for the sport and to teach them non-violent conflict resolution skills, respect for rules and others, the importance of teamwork and resistance to drugs and alcohol. Working with an extraordinary cadre of volunteer coaches, the small red sox foundation staff run the program from march through october, with substantial time spent planning activities and coaching support programs during the winter months. Massachusetts little league initiative expands on the important work with boston's inner city youth and the rbi / rookie youth baseball. The team charity sponsors 200 little league teams in the commonwealth of massachusetts.
