Holly McGrath, one of the trustees of the Highland Street Foundation, wanted to provide a way for individuals – regardless of age, ethnicity, education or income – to experience one of Boston’s greatest treasures.The Highland Hitters program was created to provide non-profit organizations with tickets and food vouchers for up to 100 individuals to attend a Red Sox game at the historic Fenway Park. As part of the Highland Hitters experience, the Highland Street Foundation provides not only Red Sox tickets, but also specially customized t-shirts and hats. Now in its second year, participants also get to experience the excitement of viewing batting practice, receiving a visit from Red Sox Mascot “Wally”, and seeing a special welcome message on the Jumbotron. The Highland Street Foundation extends a big thank you to the Red Sox Foundation and the players, who participate in the program by taking photos and signing baseballs for the many Highland Hitters groups.They all play a vital role in making this program a success.
