New Stars for Young Stars
2009 date to be determined
Presented by the Jimmy Fund Council of Greater Boston, this Boston Red Sox autograph-signing event provides a unique and memorable opportunity to meet and greet some of the newer Red Sox players, as well as many of the up-and-coming minor league players from the Red Sox organization.
Before the event opens to the public, the players make the day extra special for Jimmy Fund Clinic patients and their families by privately signing autographs, bowling, and playing pool with the kids.
Since 2006, New Stars for Young Stars has raised more than $90,000 for the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
The 2008 News Stars for Young Stars line-up included:
- Dustin Pedroia – 2007 Rookie of the Year
- Jon Lester
- Michael Bowden
- Jed Lowrie
- Bubba Bell
- Justin Masterson
- Nick Hagadone
- Ryan Kalish
- Special Guest Gabe Kapler, of the 2004 World Series Championship Team
