Cheer on Veterans & Families as They Run to Home Base at Fenway Park

Get the family together and head to historic Fenway Park to cheer on runners as they cross home plate at the 5th Annual Run to Home Base presented by New Balance.

Food, entertainment and family-friendly activities will pack the concourses of America’s most beloved ballpark including:

• Meet & greets with Wally the Green Monster & Red Sox Legends at the Fan Experience Zone, presented by John Hancock

• Carnival games, contests and pictures with Wally at the Family Fun Zone, presented by Our Family for Families First Foundation and The Corvias Group  
• Care package and thank you note assembly at the Military Appreciation Area, presented by BAE Systems 

• Photos with the 2004, 2007 and 2013 World Series Trophies

• Self-guided Fenway Park tours 

The event honors heroic veterans and raises much needed funds for the Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital Home Base Program, helping Iraq and Afghanistan veterans and families heal the invisible wounds of war – including post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injury – through clinical care, education and research.
