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.
