Fifteenth Annual ABCD Field of Dreams Celebration at Fenway

All of the proceeds from Field of Dreams benefits our SummerWorks program which helps inner-city teens to find summer employment.

The Boston Red Sox have teamed up with Action for Boston Community Development for 15 years in a row, offering a day-long softball tournament fundraiser for ABCD’s youth summer programs.

Within that 15-year friendship, Field of Dreams has raised more than $2 million for the ABCD SummerWorks jobs and education program. Corporate teams have each contributed $15,000 to benefit ABCD SummerWorks providing jobs and education for low-income teens. Today, $210,000 will be raised as company teams battle it out at America’s most beloved ballpark from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
