PawSox Rewarded for Community Service

{image-1}The Pawtucket Red Sox were awarded the second annual John Henry Moss Community Service Award earlier this week and will receive the award at baseball's winter meetings in early December. 

“The role of any successful franchise must be to help lift those in its community who are in need. The past four decades we have quietly tried to do our part" said Mike Tamburro, the President of the Pawtucket Red Sox. 

Over the last five years, the Pawsox Charitable Trust has donated more than $250,000 to important causes in the area and their Ticket Fundraiser Program has contributed over $200,000 to organizations like the American Parkinson's Disease Association.

“The heart of the Pawtucket Red Sox organization is big enough to not only fill Rhode Island, but much of New England. Following the lead of Mike Tamburro and Lou Schwechheimer, this organization has a well-earned reputation for being a selfless regional treasure that is ready to assist and lend its support to all that is good for the community," said Randy Mobley, the President of the International League.
