Red Sox to donate to Wounded Warriors Project through ticket sales
What’s better than going to one of the last summer Red Sox games? When part of the price of that ticket also goes to charity.
The Red Sox start their four-game run against the Tampa Bay Rays today, and thus start their donation partnership with the Wounded Warrior Project. With every ticket purchased for those games, a $5 donation will be made to the charity.
Wounded Warrior Project is a veterans service organization and charity that serves those wounded in military actions after September 11, 2001. They have a variety of programs to aid soldiers’ mental- and physical-health recovery, assist with employment, and help recover benefits.
The Wounded Warrior Project has a four-day solider ride in Boston this week and will be part of a pre-game ceremony for the riders before Friday’s game, according to Red Sox spokeswoman Abby Deciccio.
According to the Red Sox site, tonight’s game is already sold out, but tickets are still available for other games against the Rays. And at 37,673 seats in Fenway Park, that’s a huge opportunity to help our soldiers.
