Red Sox Game Day Programs
The Red Sox, MLB Commissioner's Officer, and Players Give Back have created the Commissioner's Community Initiative to support organizations that assist underprivileged and underserved members of our community by providing complimentary tickets to select home games.
If you would like to submit a request for tickets, please email communityrelations@redsox.com.
The Red Sox Community Homestand helps a variety of local nonprofit organizations raise awareness for their cause by offering the opportunity to share their mission with Red Sox fans at various home games throughout the season. Groups distribute collateral about their organization to fans attending the game(s) at Fenway Park.
If you would like your organization to be considered for Community Homestand, please email communityrelations@redsox.com. Please note, this is not an opportunity to fundraise.
Every Friday home game, the Red Sox and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center recognize an outstanding member of the medical community for their work researching cures and fighting diseases in their respective fields.
Every Saturday home game, the Red Sox honor local educators who go above and beyond in their field. The program invites New England students to write an essay explaining why a teacher, coach, or mentor should be honored pregame.
On a select game day in September, the Red Sox recognize Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. All players, coaches and umpires wear gold ribbon decals and wristbands. The Red Sox partner with various local organization and host children who are battling pediatric cancer and their families.
On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson broke Baseball's color barrier when he made his historic MLB debut. Every year on April 15, Baseball honors Jackie's legacy by celebrating his life, values and accomplishments. The extensive and unified League-wide show of support has included retiring Jackie's number throughout the Majors in 1997, dedicating April 15 as Jackie Robinson Day each year since 2004, and requesting that every player and all on-field personnel wear his No. 42 during games scheduled on Jackie Robinson Day since 2009.
The Boston Red Sox annually recognize the members of our community for the encouragements and contributions they make every day to improving the lives of people with disabilities. These individuals have committed themselves to the comfort, equality, and future of the disabled members of the community. Those elected are recognized on-field during the pregame ceremonies.
The Red Sox recognize a variety of causes annually through individualized pregame ceremonies to recognize special causes and celebrations.
These annual recognitions include:
- Susan G. Komen Foundation in recognition of Mother's Day
- Prostate Cancer Foundation in recognition of Father's Day
- Latino Youth Recognition
- Mass Mentoring
- Library Day
- Babe Ruth League
Each season, the Red Sox welcome a group of fans through the Blue Crew ticket program through Major League Baseball umpires. The program invites the group to meet with the umpire crew before the game and receive a special goody bag.
