Sip Happens event. We were able to raise
over $250,000 while maintaining our minimal expenses only because of the
generosity of the Boston community and its businesses. A special thank you is warranted to all of
the vendors, guests, volunteers of our organization, and my Red Sox teammates who
gave up a rare off day to be with us tonight.
At the end of the day, most importantly, we were able to raise a quarter
of a million dollars for childhood cancer research and treatment.”
