BOSTON — Massachusetts drivers are now able to celebrate one of the most iconic charities in New England and raise money to fight cancer at the same time.
The Red Sox unveiled a new license plate commemorating the Jimmy Fund’s 75th anniversary and the charity’s partnership with the Sox. The new design features the Red Sox Foundation logo with the iconic hanging socks and blue hearts alongside the logos for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund.
The new plate will cost $40 with $28 of the purchase split evenly between the Jimmy Fund and Red Sox Foundation.
“The Red Sox Foundation and the Jimmy Fund have had a tremendous impact on the lives of countless individuals and families affected by cancer across Massachusetts and greater New England,” said Governor Maura Healey. “This charity license plate is a fitting tribute to the 75th anniversary of the Jimmy Fund and the enduring collaboration between these two remarkable organizations. I encourage the people of Massachusetts to proudly display these plates, knowing that their support will make a real difference in the lives of those facing the challenges of cancer.”
The Red Sox have partnered with the Jimmy Fund since 1953, raising millions of dollars for cancer research.
“The Boston Red Sox/Jimmy Fund license plates are an easy way to make a meaningful impact in the fight against cancer,” said Larry Lucchino, Chairman of the Jimmy Fund, Trustee of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Chairman/Principal Owner of the Worcester Red Sox, and President/CEO Emeritus of the Boston Red Sox. “Red Sox Nation has this special opportunity to show support from the road, all while helping raise critical funds for the Jimmy Fund and the Red Sox Foundation.”
