Dear Family and Friends of the Red Sox Foundation!

In 2016, you took the pride and passion for our team and channeled it to make a difference in our community. Your commitment to take the Foundation’s mission to heart and make it your own is the essence of why we are able to do what we do – and why it is my sincere pleasure to serve as Honorary Chairman of the Red Sox Foundation.

Together we made it a priority to give back to the community serving the children and families of New England and Lee County, Florida. Whether it was visiting patients undergoing treatment at Dana-Farber, helping students realize their dreams of going to college or supporting our brave men and women of the military facing challenges returning from war, it was a labor of love to give back to a community that has given so much to me.

It is a privilege to work with people like you who make a difference in the lives of so many. And for that, I am deeply grateful and look forward to seeing what impact we’ll make in the year ahead.

Thank you for all you do!

• The Boston Area Church League brings more than 600 Boston children to ball fields in the summer. They play Saturday doubleheaders with pastors as coaches, police as umpires, and assistant district attorneys as volunteers.

• The Lindos Sueños program, which the Red Sox created with philanthropist Charlene Engelhard in 2004, brings American teens of various backgrounds to the Dominican Republic each summer to play with their teenage counterparts. Before taking the field each afternoon at the Red Sox Academy, the children collaborate each morning to engage in community service projects to aid residents.
