BOSTON, MA – The Red Sox Foundation will be featured throughout NESN’s broadcast of the Red Sox-Angels game tomorrow night, beginning with their pregame show at 5:30 p.m. The special broadcast will highlight a partnership between the Foundation and the MassMutual Foundation focusing on the Fenway Park Learning Lab, as well as other Foundation core partners and programs. The broadcast will also include recognition of the legacy and community impact of Red Sox Hall of Famer and Red Sox Foundation Honorary Chairman Tim Wakefield.

NESN’s broadcast will feature leaders from the Red Sox Foundation, joined by representatives from the Foundation’s core programs and partners to highlight their work in the areas of health, education, and recreation.

Pregame ceremonies will celebrate the Fenway Park Learning Lab presented by the MassMutual Foundation and in partnership with Fenway Park Tours, which offers an immersive educational tour for sixth-grade students from Boston Public Schools. A ceremonial first pitch will be thrown by a BPS student who recently participated in the Fenway Park Learning Lab with his classmates. The student will also speak about their Learning Lab experience during the NESN game broadcast at the top of the fourth inning.
