We’re still thinking about this special night✨ Our annual WooSox Foundation Honors Gala is a celebration of community heroes and one of our biggest fundraisers. Thank you to all our donors, whose generosity helps to fund $10,000 college scholarships for four promising eighth graders every year—among so many other lifechanging programs and initiatives! Shoutout to our Director of Ballpark Entertainment Brendan Black for this recap, and for creating the moving videos that introduced our four honorees at the gala: Maura Mahoney, Julie Bowditch, Dr. Lee Nadler, and Luis Ojeda.

What a way to end Day 2 of our 4th annual "WooSox Foundation Holiday Caravan!" Our WooSox Foundation Care-A-Van, presented by Bank of America, rode in a holiday parade organized by Why Me & Sherry's House. We love partnering with our friends at Worcester Bravehearts Baseball and Worcester Railers HC out in the community👏 Then, District 4 City Councilor Luis Ojeda brought the kids of TLK Sports to Polar Park to test out the brand-new WooCages, enjoy pizza, and take home gift cards, basketballs, footballs, and volleyballs! WooSox outfielder Corey Rosier provided hitting tips, and Councilor Ojeda even took some hacks!

Day 2 of our 4th annual "WooSox Foundation Holiday Caravan" started with a trip to Vernon Hill Elementary School, where we helped the radiant Julie McDonald and our friends at Juniper Outreach Foundation stock their brand-new food pantry for students! Then, we passed out hygiene kits at the Queen St. Shelter in Worcester. Later today, we'll join our friends at Why Me & Sherry's House for their holiday parade, and City Councilor Luis Ojeda will bring the youngsters of TLK Sports to Polar Park to enjoy a sneak preview of the WooCages!

Alexandra Dumais ’24 always dreamed of working in the sports industry. During her senior year, she took advantage of Assumption’s partnership with the Worcester Red Sox to secure an internship working on-site at one of Minor League Baseball's most popular ballparks. Now as Coordinator of Administration and Fan Services with the WooSox, she’s applying many of the lessons she learned in Assumption’s classrooms, as a NCAA student-athlete, and in her internship directly to creating memorable experiences for each of the ~500,000 fans that attend a WooSox game annually.

Today was a great start to our fourth annual "WooSox Foundation Holiday Caravan." It's always a pleasure having Red Sox and WooSox Hall of Famer Rich Gedman join us, and we thank WooSox outfielder Corey Rosier for helping us give back to the Worcester community today, tomorrow, and Friday! This morning, we volunteered at St. John's Food for the Poor. Then, we passed out Smiley plushies to adorable youngsters at UMass Memorial Medical Center. At lunchtime, we provided a hot lunch and cool gifts to students from Worcester Public Schools' Vernon Hill Elementary School. The day concluded with a trip to the Central Community Branch YMCA, as well as Nazareth Home in Leicester, where we teamed up with Mike Novia and the incredible kiddos of the Jr. WooSox Baseball Program to provide an assortment of gifts to children in need. The WooSox Foundation Care-A-Van, presented by Bank of America, hits the road early tomorrow morning for another day full of goodwill and cheer😊

I truly could not be more honored to be a part of this organization. I am so thankful to everyone at the Worcester Red Sox for surprising me with this award, and for supporting me throughout this year. A special shoutout to Katie Siegle for stepping up to the plate this year and saying yes to everything that was thrown at her. And of course, thank you to Alexis Dill and Charles Steinberg for believing in me and providing invaluable guidance. I also thank Joseph Bradlee for showing me what it means to be an exceptional community relations leader! It was so wonderful getting to recognize four incredibly deserving honorees at our Third Annual “WooSox Foundation Honors” gala. I have truly grown to love the Worcester community and can’t wait to give back this week on our annual The WooSox Foundation Holiday Caravan. What a way to wrap up 2024!
