The first ever Fantasy Day to Benefit the Red Sox Foundation was held Wednesday September 19th, 2007 from 7AM-9PM at Fenway Park. Proceeds from this charity event benefited the Red Sox Foundation.
Have you ever dreamt of:
stepping up to the plate at Fenway Park?
hearing the roar of the crowd?
hitting one over the Green Monster?
Fenway Fantasy Day is your opportunity to make that dream a reality!
Fantasy Day to Benefit the Red Sox Foundation consisted of seven softball games played throughout the day on the field at Fenway Park! Along with the opportunity to play on the field, players received additional perks such as a customized Red Sox home jersey, a photo with the 2004 World Series Trophy, and the opportunity to invite a limited number of guests to watch his/her game.
Each individual player raised a minimum donation ($1250 for MBSL Players, and $1750 for non-league players) to participate.
Corporate Sponsorships were available.
