Maine Action Team Leaders Spend the day at Fenway Park

Thirty student leaders representing Action Teams at more than a dozen Maine high schools traveled to Fenway Park recently for a day to recognize their leadership and accomplishments. Students had a guided tour of Fenway, got to watch batting practice on the field where them met Red Sox captain Jason Varitek, were recognized before the game on the field and on the huge "Jumbotron" sign in center field and got to see the Red Sox beat the Arizona Diamondbacks (Go Sox!). A special thanks to the Major League Baseball Players Trust, Volunteers of America National Office and our other two major sponsors -- Moody's Collision Centers and the Timothy J. Mynahan Foundation -- for making the trip possible.
