BOSTON – While the Boston Red Sox are away, baseball fans will take the field at Fenway Park on Saturday, June 7 for John Hancock Fenway Fantasy Day to benefit the Jimmy Fund. The 23rd annual, day-long event attracts baseball fans of all ages to experience the excitement of playing at the home of the 2013 World Champions in support of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund. 

Participants can either fundraise their way on to the field or purchase packages. Options include a Fielding Package for $750, Batting Package for $2,000, or a Full Inning Package for $2,500, which includes batting and fielding for one participant. Group packages for six, and up to 24 people, are also available. Participants can also "Sponsor a Patient" by purchasing a batting or fielding package for a Dana-Farber adult or pediatric patient. 

All proceeds from the event support the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s mission to conquer cancer. For more information about John Hancock Fenway Fantasy Day to benefit the Jimmy Fund batting and fielding packages please visit www.jimmyfundfantasyday.org.
