The Gotta Have Sole Foundation was recently recognized as one of the recipients of the Boston Red Sox’s 100 Acts of Kindness. 100 Acts of Kindness is a program that recognizes and supports the work of charitable organizations throughout New England during Fenway Park’s 100th anniversary season. On August 28, at 11:00 a.m., Red Sox staff members, in partnership with New Balance, generously donated 100 New Balance sneakers to us in a wonderful effort to give back to the community. We would like to thank the Boston Red Sox and New Balance for their generous donation!

About the 100 Acts of Kindness: As a way to highlight and support the important work done by the many charitable institutions throughout New England and beyond, the Red Sox are engaging in “100 Acts of Kindness” with various not-for-profit organizations during the 100th anniversary season of Fenway Park in 2012. These acts will take on a number of different forms, including donations, volunteer efforts, and hosting community events. Each act will be designed to highlight organizations and causes throughout New England. Red Sox ownership, players, alumni, and staff will participate. Additional acts will be announced throughout 2012, culminating with 100 by the end of this 100th Anniversary year.
