Dear Red Sox Fans, Friends and Neighbors,
When we became stewards of this tremendous franchise in December, 2001, we made a set of fundamental
commitments to Red Sox fans: to field a team worthy of fan support, to preserve, protect and enhance
Fenway Park, to reach out and step-up our marketing efforts, and to be active participants in our New
England community. In these tough economic times, perhaps none is more important than the commitment
to be “active participants in the community”.
We are fortunate to have partners, players, coaches, front office members, alumni, sponsors, vendors, and
volunteers who believe in the importance of giving back. Through the stories and photographs on the following
pages, we hope to give you a glimpse into their level of commitment to serve those in need.
The club reached new levels of giving in 2009. The Red Sox Foundation, the team’s official charity, donated
nearly $3.8 million to non-profits in our community, reaching a total of more than $38 million since the
Foundation was established in 2002. In addition, the Red Sox donated more than 4,530 auction items and
baseball experiences to non-profit organizations to assist them with their fundraising, and our managers, players
and coaches also made 552 total community appearances. In recognition of the impact of its innovative
programs, the Red Sox Foundation was nationally honored with the 2009 Steve Patterson Award for “Best
Team Charity In Sports” by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Sports Philanthropy Project.
The team’s ownership has also launched a major new initiative focused on veterans returning home from
war in Iraq and Afghanistan. The new Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital Home Base
Program will help veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) and
provide them and their families with the care they need and deserve. To help fund the program, this year the
Red Sox hosted a major new 9K (5.6 mile) race called the “Run to Home Base”, with 2,200 runners crossing
the finish line at Fenway Park’s home plate and raising over $2.4 million for the cause.

Red Sox Foundation
Honored nationally as “Best Team Charity in Sports” last
year, The Red Sox Foundation is committed to harnessing
the passion fans have for the Red Sox to support programs
serving at-risk children and families. The official 501(c)3
team charity, the Red Sox Foundation was founded in 2002
by Principal Owner John Henry, Chairman Tom Werner,
President/CEO Larry Lucchino and their generous partners.
Now the largest team charity in Major League Baseball and
in New England, the Red Sox Foundation has provided more
than $38 million to nonprofit programs since 2003 and
has won numerous awards for the impact of its innovative
outreach and fan engagement.
Our work in New England is primarily centered on four
cornerstone programs including: Red Sox Scholars, RBI
and Rookie Youth Baseball Leagues, The Jimmy Fund
and, The Dimock Center in Roxbury. In 2009, the team
charity also launched the new Red Sox Foundation and

The Red Sox Foundation’s cornerstone in the area of health is the ball club’s
long-standing support of the Jimmy Fund. Since 1953, the Red Sox and
the Jimmy Fund have been a team, working in support of cancer research
at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. In 2010, pitchers Tim Wakefield and
Clay Bucholz will be co-captains, acting as ambassadors to raise awareness
about cancer care and research. The Red Sox Foundation is once again a
lead sponsor of the 2010 Pan-Mass Challenge and, through the WEEI-NESN
Radio-Telethon, the Red Sox will help raise millions more for the Jimmy
Fund. Since 2002, the team has helped generate over $38+ million in funds
for the Jimmy Fund and the lifesaving work it supports at Dana-Farber.
$4.5 million: Amount raised by the WEEI/NESN Jimmy Fund
Radio-Telethon in 2009.
The Red Sox Scholars program provides college scholarships, tutoring
and enrichment activities to academically talented but economically
disadvantaged Boston Public School students. Awarded in the 5th grade,
the $10,000 scholarships are redeemable upon enrollment in an accredited
college and on the condition of good citizenship. Each year, Red Sox
Scholars are paired with a “Medical Champion” from Presenting Sponsor
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. In addition, the Red Sox Front
Office and Foundation staff provide after-school programs, leadership
development and field trips. We are very grateful to the Highland Street
Foundation, Peter and Carolyn Lynch Foundation and Target for their
generous support of the Red Sox Scholars program.

Red Sox Foundation as of 2010.
The third cornerstone of the Red Sox Foundation is The Dimock Center
in Roxbury – a non-profit institution providing social service programs to
more than 40,000 families in Boston’s most disadvantaged neighborhoods.
Founded in 1862, Dimock today serves as a lifeline to many low-income
children of color. With generous support from global innovator Microsoft,
the Red Sox Foundation provides support for Dimock’s “Smart Kids” afterschool program, allowing elementary and middle school students to enjoy
art and computer classes as well as academic support. In 2009, some
200 employees of medical devices giant Covidien, volunteered their time
and talent to a top-to-bottom make over of Dimock’s Detox Center –
according to state officials, the first-ever such community service
project at the local detox facility.
40,000: The number of at-risk families served.
The fourth cornerstone of the Red Sox Foundation includes both the RBI
Youth and Red Sox Rookie Baseball Leagues. The Rookie League introduces
children under the age of 12 to the basics of baseball, while Reviving
Baseball in Inner Cities (RBI) uses the sport to promote healthy choices
and valuable life skills including conflict resolution, resistance to drugs and
alcohol, and educational achievement among at-risk teens. We thank The
Yawkey Foundation, Wise Foods Inc, and The Cal Ripken Sr. Foundation
for their support of the RBI League. The Red Sox also recognize Collette
Vacations for their support of the Rookie League program.

Red Sox Rookie Leagues.
Honoring those who serve
The Red Sox Foundation and
MGH Home Base Program
With a moving pregame ceremony
featuring wounded members of each
military branch, the Red Sox last year
launched the new “Red Sox Foundation
and Mass General Home Base Program.”
The new philanthropic partnership serves
veterans returning from service in Iraq and
Afghanistan with brain injuries and combat
stress disorders, and their families.
The program includes confidential clinical
care for veterans with these two “signature
wounds” of the current war as well as
outreach to family members of those
struggling with PTSD and brain injuries.
The Home Base Program also provides
innovative research and community
educational programs aimed at health
professionals, clergy, social workers and
veterans groups.
First Lady Michelle Obama, former
President George W. Bush, Caroline
Kennedy, Senator Edward Kennedy’s
widow, Vicki Kennedy, and former NBC
anchor Bob Woodward all graciously
serve as Honorary Directors of the new
Red Sox Foundation and MGH Home
Base Program. Meanwhile Manager
Terry Francona, Red Sox Pitcher Tim
Wakefield, Dustin Pedroia and several
other players have created public service
announcements to help reduce the stigma
that unfairly discourages veterans from
seeking the help they need and deserve. Over the next three years, the Red Sox
Foundation has pledged $3 million to
support the new Home Base Program.
Among the new fundraising events to
support the program, the Foundation
hosted a new “Run to Home Base”, in
which some 2,500 fans participated in a
9K and finished by crossing Fenway Park’s
famed home plate while friends and families
cheered them on!
In addition, team and Foundation officials
and players visited with wounded veterans
along with active-duty servicemen and
women in local and national military
hospitals. The Red Sox also hosted
“Tickets for Troops”, allowing fans to
donate tickets to members of the military.
In 2008, some 200 employees of Covidien,
a major sponsor of the Red Sox Foundation,
repaired the damaged recreation and
physical therapy facilities at the Brockton
Veterans Hospital. Each year, Red Sox
Foundation volunteers also create hundreds
of care packages and send them to soldiers
serving in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Reaching out to the community
Teddy Ebersol’s Red Sox Fields
Working with two local nonprofits, Hill House and The
Esplanade Association, the Red Sox Foundation helped
revitalize and transform a well-loved but well-worn
recreation area at a public state park along the Charles
River. Named in memory of an avid young Red Sox fan who
died shortly after his beloved Red Sox won the 2004 World
Series, these baseball, softball and youth soccer fields at
Lederman Park now stand as a tribute to Teddy and all
who love youth sports. The Friends of Teddy Ebersol’s Red
Sox Fields continues to fundraise to support annual field
maintenance. We welcome fans to join our charitable team.
Please visit www.redsoxfoundation.org.
Mass Mentoring Partnership
Mass Mentoring Partnership works to expand youth
mentoring across Massachusetts. Through the Red Sox
Mentoring Challenge and Mentoring Night at Fenway
Park, the Red Sox have helped recruit and match
hundreds of new mentors with youths and have created
powerful experiences for these at-risk youngsters.
Group Homes
At the suggestion of Principal Owner John Henry, Red
Sox players, coaches and front office members visit
children who are taken from their parents due to abuse
or neglect or who are orphaned and now live in 6 group
homes — one in each New England state — and host
them for a Red Sox game every season. The group
homes include: The Home for Little Wanderers (MA),
Webster House (NH), St Mary’s Home For Children (RI);
Allenbrook Home (VT); Youth Alternatives (ME); and
Wheelock Institute (CT). The team charity also supports
the DSS Kids Fund, which serves thousands of
Massachusetts children living in foster care.
A Ball Club Involved with Fans
and our Community
Each season, Red Sox players and coaches demonstrate
their strong commitment to Red Sox Nation through numerous
charitable donations and community appearances. Before games
both at home and away, players greet special fans from local
hospitals and non-profit organizations and extend the team’s
thanks to members of the armed forces. Throughout the year,
players support Red Sox Foundation events that raise funds to
support those in need throughout New England.
Following the lead of their fellow teammates Jason Varitek
(Tek’s 33s), and Tim Wakefield (Wakefield Warriors), Kevin
Youkilis (Youk’s Kids), Terry Francona, David Ortiz and
Jonathan Papelbon have all established their own charitable
ticket programs. Terry’s ticket program benefits active and
retired military members. Papi Cares allows financially
disadvantaged families the opportunity to come to Fenway
Park, and Papi’s Pals invites children from Mass General to
Fenway Park to experience a game. Inspired by a 2006 winter
caravan trip to a group home in Maine, Jonathan Papelbon
and his wife, Ashley, launched Papelbon’s Pen, through which
they purchase game tickets for children from New England
group homes.
During the 2009 holiday season, Michael Bowden, Manny
Delcarmen, Jed Lowrie, Ron Johnson and Dave Magadan
braved the New England winter to spread holiday joy to
patients at local hospitals. The group spent two days visiting
the Jimmy Fund, Children’s Hospital Boston, Franciscan
Hospital for Children, Mass General Hospital for Children,
Shriner’s Hospital and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
They wrapped up their tour by spending time at the Red Sox
Scholars’ annual holiday party, where the children received
autographs and photos from the players and coaches. In
January, some of Boston’s top prospects learned about the
Red Sox commitment to giving back to the community as part
of the Red Sox Rookie Development program. In between
workouts and instructional sessions, 12 prospects spent
a Tuesday afternoon visiting children at the Jimmy Fund
and Children’s Hospital Boston and participated in a group
autograph signing party for fans.
Sox Talks:
Away from Fenway Park, players and coaches engaged
young Red Sox fans as part of the Sox Talk program,
which is held every summer at Boston neighborhood
baseball fields. Hosted by Boston Centers for Youth
& Families, the day starts with a skills competition in
running, hitting and throwing for children ages 6-14.
Following the competition, players and coaches speak
to the children and hold a question and answer session.
Participating during the 2009 season were Jeff Bailey,
Tim Bogar, Manny Delcarmen, John Farrell, Nick
Green, DeMarlo Hale, George Kottaras, Jed Lowrie,
Dave Magadan, Justin Masterson, Brad Mills, Ramon
Ramirez, Takashi Saito, and Gary Tuck.
Make-A-Wish:
Together with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the Red
Sox helped grant sixteen wishes for children battling a
variety of illnesses in 2009. The children came from all
over the world, to meet their heroes. The experiences
at the ballpark allowed the children to forget their
troubles if only for a day.
Camp Harbor View:
Camp Harbor View was founded so that Boston
children could enjoy a summer camping experience.
Children ages 11 to 14 who live in Boston’s at-risk
neighborhoods experience sports, arts and crafts
and other traditional summer camp activities as well
as programs that build the children’s confidence and
leadership skills. Campers pay just $5 for a four-week
session and are transported to and from the camp.
During the 2009 season, Manny Delcarmen, George
Kottaras, Justin Masterson and Ramon Ramirez spent
time with the campers playing basketball, baseball,
soccer and rock climbing. Since the camp’s founding
by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino and businessman
Jack Connors, the Red Sox Foundation and team
owners have donated over $500,000 to Camp Harbor
View.
Reaching out to the community
Players:
Through the David Ortiz Children’s Fund, he
has given health and hope to more than 100
Dominican children born with heart conditions. In
December, 2009, he hosted the 2nd Annual David
Ortiz Celebrity Golf Classic which raised over
$250,000 for the Foundation. When neighboring
Haiti suffered a devastating earthquake, David
recorded a message encouraging fans to donate to
the relief efforts, and donated shipments of food
and medicine to assist the millions of victims.
Cancer survivor Jon Lester served as the
spokesman for the 2009 Jimmy Fund Rally
Against Cancer program. The program allows
students and employees to wear their Red
Sox gear to school or work on Opening Day in
exchange for a $5 donation to the Jimmy Fund.
The top three fundraisers (business, school and
college) received a visit from Jon, who talked
about his battle with cancer and his fight back to
the major leagues.
During the 2009 season, in honor of his
commitment to the Franciscan Hospital for
Children, the Hospital renamed their refurbished
baseball field The Tim “Wake” Field. In June,
Tim threw out the ceremonial first pitch to a
patient who had visited Fenway as part of the
Wakefield Warriors program.
In 2010, Daisuke Matsuzaka will start his
own tradition by donating $500 to the Red Sox
Foundation for each strike he throws throughout
the season. The funds will be used to support
programs for disadvantaged children.
Josh Beckett has hosted numerous fundraising
events benefitting Children’s Hospital Boston. In
April, the Hospital unveiled the new Josh Beckett
Treatment Room where children can imagine
themselves at Fenway Park even while receiving
treatment for their illnesses. In November, Josh
received the Champions for Children’s award the
at Hospital’s annual fundraising Gala.

Wives Pitching In
Welcome Home Dinner
The annual “Picnic in the Park with the Red Sox Wives”
allows fans to enjoy Fenway’s famous outfield, get player
autographs and purchase one-of-a-kind items donated by
the wives and players.
The annual Welcome Home Dinner Presented By
Covidien is a night filled with fun, games, and lots of
laughs. The annual event is the first time fans have
the opportunity to meet the new Red Sox team in
person. One highlight of this charitable event was the
re-enactment of one of TV’s most popular game shows,
‘Match Game.’ Red Sox players and coaches served
as celebrity panelists to match their teammates answers
to fill-in-the-blank questions. Fans cheered for their
favorite players which resulted in some humorous and
memorable moments. Thanks to corporate sponsors and
bighearted supporters, two of the Red Sox Foundation’s
charitable programs serving at-risk children in the
community raised $750,000.
For the 8th year, Red Sox Wives starred in “From Fenway
to the Runway”, a charity fashion show and luncheon at
the Natick Collection. Several Red Sox Wives also joined
Stacey Lucchino and other “Team 9” riders in the PMC
bike race and the Scooperbowl fundraisers for the Jimmy
Fund. Sales are still going strong for the Red Sox Wives’
children’s book “Fenway 1-2-3”. As they do every year, the
Red Sox Wives ran a Cash & Can Drive at Fenway Park,
last year generating thousands of pounds of food and cash
donations for the Greater Boston Food Bank.
Foundation To Be Named Later
Founded in 2005 by Red Sox General Manager Theo
Epstein and his twin brother, Paul, The Foundation To
Be Named Later operates under the umbrella of the Red
Sox Foundation and supports a select group of non-profits
serving disadvantaged youth.
Through a number of annual fundraisers – including
the fan-favorite “Hot Stove, Cool Music” concerts –
The Foundation To Be Named Later supports Roxbury
YouthWorks, the West End House Boys and Girls Club,
City Year, BELL, The Home for Little Wanderers, Horizons
for Homeless Children, Steps to Success, Citizen Schools
and Room to Grow. In 2010 with the generous support
of the office equipment company RISO, the Foundation
announced the new “Peter Gammons Scholarship”, which
provides a 4-year college scholarship to a talented Boston
Public School student.
The Foundation’s name (or lack thereof) derives from the
MLB trade term “a player to be named later”. For more
information, visit www.foundationtobenamedlater.org.
The Red Sox US - Japanese Youth
Baseball Exchange Presented by FUNAI
Now in its 3rd year, this charitable program
brought 12 young Boston baseball players to
Japan, visiting Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka for
10 days of cultural exchange and baseball.
Staying in homes of local Japanese families,
the American youngsters and their Japanese
hosts learned about each others’ traditions
through the shared language of baseball.
In 2008, when 12 Japanese players visited
Boston, Hideki Okajima hosted the Japanese
teens and their American peers at an on-field
clinic at Fenway Park. Later, Daisuke Matsuzaka
enjoyed a pre-game autograph session with the
group. Generously funded by global electronics
giant FUNAI with support from the Japan Society
and Millenium, the program also featured games
between Japanese and American youth baseball
teams along with visits to educational and cultural
attractions in Boston and in Japan. In the summer
of 2010, 12 young Japanese baseball players will
make a 10-day trip to Boston for a similar lifechanging experience.
Lindos Sueños
Lindos Sueños translates into English as
“Beautiful Dreams”. The program, established in
2004 by the Red Sox and a local philanthropist,
strives to bring people of different backgrounds
together through the common appeal of baseball
and community service. Through the generous
support of JetBlue Airways, in 2009, a group of
teens from the U.S. traveled to the Dominican
Republic where they met a group of local teens
who they lived and played with over a two-week
period. Each morning, the teens worked at
an orphanage in San Pedro de Macoris (a
town known as “the hotbed” of Dominican
baseball) where they built a youth baseball
field for the children to use. Each afternoon, the
teens practiced at the Red Sox Academy in the
Dominican and played together on a baseball
team that competed against youth teams. As the
teens worked and played together, they learned
that they had much in common and learned from
each other.
Beyond Fenway Park
Our Southwest Florida Home
The Red Sox have called Lee County, Florida, our
Spring Training home since 1993, and we are proud
to be a part of the community. We have formed rich
relationships with numerous charitable organizations.
In 2010, we again celebrated two long-standing
partnerships with two extraordinary events – the 17th
annual Red Sox Celebrity Golf Classic, which has raised
$5 million over 17 years for Southwest Florida Children’s
Hospital of Lee Memorial Health System; and the 5th
annual “Evening with the Red Sox”, which has raised
$340,000 over five years for the Lee County Boys &
Girls Club. In January, we also started a new tradition,
the first “Southwest Florida Winter Road Trip”, which
brought Wally, the trophies, and thoughts of baseball to
the area. We continue working with community partners,
Wake Up America of SW Florida, Harry Chapin Food
Bank, and the Downtown Ft. Myers Rotary Club, and
look forward to making Lee County our Spring Training
home for decades to come.
