Thanks to a generous donation from Wakefield Rotarian Frank Fiorentino and Mahoney, Fiorentino, and Co., PC, raffle participants can win a pair of tickets for the Red Sox take on any remaining 2023 home game opponent.
Club Treasurer Barbara Worley said, “These tickets are amazing, and this is an easy way to win some great Sox seats and support local causes through Rotary.” The previous raffle drew in over $2,000 which was donated back to the community throughout the year.
Ticket chances cost twenty-five dollars and the prize includes two seats at Fenway, Box 50, Row H, Seats 1-2. The value of the pair of tickets is about $275. 2022 ticket winner, Mike Sullivan said, “The seat location was just amazing.”
