Boston-Based Tickets-for-Charity® Offers Red Sox Fans Great Seats for Angels Series at Fenway Park & Easy Way to Support Children in Need via the Red Sox Foundation

Tickets-for-Charity Has Raised over $600,000 for Red Sox Foundation

Tickets-for-Charity® announces that it is offering Boston Red Sox fans the opportunity to access hard-to-find seats for this week’s series against the Angels on September 15, 16 & 17, while supporting the Red Sox Foundation’s work serving at risk children across New England. From Grandstands to exclusive EMC Club seats overlooking home plate, Tickets-for-Charity offers fans high-demand seats – for typically the same price or better than they can find elsewhere – while benefiting important community programs in the process.

As Red Sox fans are well aware, Fenway Park holds the longest run of sold-out seasons in baseball history. For fans who cannot find the seats they want at the box office, Tickets-for-Charity works with the Red Sox to make great Charitable Sale™ seats available at the same price or better than fans can find elsewhere, while generating a charitable donation to the Red Sox Foundation. Tickets-for-Charity offers numerous seating options, including Grandstands and Budweiser Right Field Roof Deck as well as premium seating in the EMC Club, State Street Pavilion and hometown favorite, Green Monster. Fans can access great seats for all home games through Tickets-for-Charity by calling 1-866-567-4576.

“Partnering with Tickets-for-Charity has already raised over $600,000 for our Foundation, and we were thrilled to expand this terrific program in 2009 with an even greater selection of seats for our fans,” said Meg Vaillancourt, Executive Director of the Red Sox Foundation. “The Tickets-for-Charity platform provides a tangible, meaningful way for us to increase awareness and support for the work we do with children struggling on the margins of our community.”

In addition to its Red Sox Charitable Sale program, Tickets-for-Charity works with some of the biggest names in entertainment, from Coldplay to Jimmy Buffet to Robin Williams, to offer fans great concert and theater seats for typically the same price or better than they find elsewhere while supporting important causes. Purchases made on www.ticketsforcharity.com benefit participating charities in Tickets-for-Charity’s network of over 30 leading non-profit organizations, including the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, Natural Resources Defense Council and Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, among others.
