Teddy Ebersol's Red Sox Fields at Lederman Park was developed by a new civic and philanthropic partnership of three non-profit groups -- The Red Sox Foundation, Hill House, and The Esplanade Association -- in cooperation with The Executive Office of Environmental Affairs and the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation.
Our mission to make a difference in the lives of youth, families, Veterans, and communities in need by improving health, educational, and recreational opportunities remains at our core. To create a strong pathway forward, the Foundation will prioritize two critical initiatives as part of our direct-service programming and grant-making initiatives:
- Growing the game of youth baseball and softball
- Expanding access and opportunity to high quality educational resources
The Red Sox Foundation's impact off the field is stronger than ever because of the heart of Red Sox Nation. Thank you for making our work possible through your continued support.
