As the summer sun warmed Fenway Park this past July, the Maine Strong Memorial Foundation experienced a day filled with connection, purpose, and community spirit at the iconic home of the Boston Red Sox. This event marked another significant moment in our journey to promote awareness and support for our mission within the vibrant atmosphere of a Red Sox game.
One of the day’s most touching moments was the presence of Amy and Eric Morin, the daughter and son of the late Ron Morin. In a heartfelt tribute, Amy and Eric had the honor of throwing out the first pitch, while the Red Sox announcers paid homage to their father. Their participation symbolized the enduring strength and unity that define our foundation's mission and the community we serve.
Throughout the day, our team engaged with countless fans at our concourse table, sharing our story and mission. We distributed flyers detailing our efforts, alongside fun giveaways that brought smiles to many faces. The genuine interest and support from the Red Sox community were both overwhelming and inspiring, as people took the time to learn more about how they could contribute to our cause.
The energy of Fenway, coupled with the camaraderie of those who visited our table, reinforced the power of coming together for a greater purpose. It was more than just a game; it was a day where sports and philanthropy merged to create a meaningful impact.
We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who stopped by, offered a word of encouragement, or simply listened to our message. Your support enables us to continue our mission of honoring the memories of those we've lost and making a lasting difference in our community. As we move forward, strengthened by the bonds formed at Fenway, we remain committed to our cause and look ahead with hope and determination.
Together, we are Maine Strong.
