Get the Ultimate Fan Experience at Jimmy Fund Fantasy Day, June 28
The Red Sox will be on the road but there will be plenty of baseball action at Fenway Park on June 28 as the Jimmy Fund teams up with the Red Sox Team Store to present the "Ultimate Fan Experience" at Jimmy Fund Fantasy Day.
The Ultimate Fan Experience is a chance for people of all ages to enjoy baseball-related activities and entertainment while supporting the fight against cancer at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through the Jimmy Fund. On the schedule to take place are photo opportunities, contests, a kid zone, tours, panel discussions and a skill zone for those who want to showcase their baseball talents in the batting cage. The Red Sox Store on Yawkey Way will also have autograph sessions with former players such as Joe Morgan, Frank Malzone, Ted Lepcio, Bill Monbougquette and Rico Petrocelli along with a special appearance by NESN’s Hazel Mae.
Fans can also watch those lucky enough to score a spot in the sold-out Fantasy Day on-field batting and fielding opportunities try to hit the Green Monster or play the ball off the wall. These on-field packages were made possible through the generosity of Ken and Bob Levine and regularly sell out months before the event. Committed fans taking part in Jimmy Fund Fantasy day have raised nearly $6 million since it began in 1992.
Gate B will open at 9 a.m., and the Ultimate Fan Experience will run until 5 p.m. Tickets are $25 per person for those 12 and over, $15 for children ages 3 to 11 and free for children under three. To purchase tickets, go to www.jimmyfund.org/fantasyday. A $5 ticket discount is available for groups of 15 and more. To receive the group discount, email fantasyday@dfci.harvard.edu or contact Katy Barrett at (617) 632-3611.
