PORTSMOUTH -
The Boston Red Sox and the Red Sox Foundation announced that July is “Acts of Kindness” month, when the team and its philanthropic arm will embark on a month-long series of charitable initiatives as part of the “100 Acts of Kindness.” The program recognizes and supports the work of charitable organizations throughout New England during Fenway Park’s 100th anniversary season. Through volunteer service and donations, the two organizations will look to complete a total of 26 acts by the end of the month.
On Monday July 30, Red Sox staff members will be at Pease International Airport in Portsmouth at 11 a.m. to help support the Pease Greeters,  a Portsmouth-based organization who welcomes the men and women of our military that pass through Pease on their way to or from the War on Terrorism. Pease Greeters have been meeting flights from May, 2005.
Red Sox Staff have collected and will distribute calling cards for the troops and toys for their children.
