Take Me Out to the Ballpark for Summer FunLife is good at Fenway celebrates summer fun and good old-fashioned Americana at the nation's favorite ballpark. A crowd of 20,000 will enjoy a field of dreams day featuring great live music, classic ballpark food, and a colorful mix of good-time activities for all ages, including many never before witnessed at Fenway: the Sox Super Fan competition, batting cage and radar gun throws, watermelon seed spitting, and champion peanut tossing.

The Third Annual World's Greatest Backyard Athlete Competition. The coveted title of World's Greatest Backyard Athlete is up for grabs again this year. In this must-see, one-of-a-kind competition over 100 generous folks go where no fan has gone before as they play Wiffle ball home run derby in center field, hurl discs off the famed Green Monster, pitch peanuts in the stands, and compete in a baseball-themed obstacle course.

Athletes must raise pledge money to join the fun, and 100% of funds raised benefit Project Joy and the Red Sox Foundation. To participate in this event each competitor must raise a minimum of $5,000(yikes). My goal is to reach out to as many people as possible and spread the good word. If we all pitch in a little bit we can help make a difference. If you feel like making a donation it would be greatly appreciated. Corporate sponsorships are also available.

And as importantly as a donation, if you know of anyone in your address book who might be interested in making a donation (company or private) please pass this information on. Or simply delete this immediately. Thank you for your time.Thank you for your support,Jamie Keefe Follow This Link to visit my personal web page and help me in my efforts to support Life is good.
