Boys & Girls Clubs of Lee County’s annual Evening at the Ballpark will feature players representing the Boston Red Sox under shadows of the Green Monster at JetBlue Park.
Evening at the Ballpark will offer fun baseball-themed activities and games, as well as appetizers and drinks, on the concourse at JetBlue Park, also known as Fenway South. Then, guests will move onto the outfield grass for dinner, an interactive autograph session and Player Panel discussion covering topics of interest to baseball fans. Boys & Girls Clubs of Lee County’s 2025 Youth of the Year also will deliver an inspiring keynote address explaining the transformational impact that club programming has on local children and teens.
Fundraising opportunities throughout the night include a sports memorabilia silent auction and an integrated live auction with one-of-a-kind packages that will occur before a “Call to Heart” showcasing the moment when generosity meets impact. Proceeds will support club members attending after-school and summer programs.
Leading this year’s live auction is Jay Zeager, the dynamic voice behind countless fundraising events. With over two decades of experience, Zeager has served as a skilled benefit auctioneer, event emcee and public address announcer.
In 2024, nearly 175 Boys & Girls Clubs supporters and baseball fans attended Evening at the Ballpark, which included a trio of Red Sox players – catcher Connor Wong, pitcher Brennan Bernardino and left fielder Tyler O’Neill – in a Players Panel moderated by Red Sox broadcaster Tom Caron.
Evening at the Ballpark will be held from 5:30-9:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 13 at JetBlue Park, 11500 Fenway South Drive in Fort Myers. Individual tickets are $200 each and tables for 10 are $1,500. Sponsorship opportunities also are available.
