    Welcome Back!

    Lee County would like to celebrate the return of The Boston Red Sox and the Minnesota Twins for Spring Training 2012 and thank both organizations for their generosity to our community. Each team has created its own legacy of philanthropy, making an incomparable impact on countless local charities and nonprofits by donating auction items and participating in fundraising events.

     

    Boston Red Sox

    The Boston Red Sox touch more than 50 Lee County charities and nonprofits each year. Highlights of the team’s impact include raising more than $6 million to benefit The Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida over the past 18 years and more than $350,000 for the Boys & Girls Clubs of Lee County in just six years.

    The Red Sox moved across town this year to JetBlue Park at Fenway South, their new Spring Training ballpark off Daniels Parkway east of Interstate 75 in south Fort Myers. The Red Sox are contracted at the new ballpark complex through 2042. Get construction and grand opening details.

    Minnesota Twins

    The Minnesota Twins raise about $220,000 annually for many local charities through their golf and bowling tournaments; youth baseball clinics; game day raffles; blood drives; and direct donations. Highlights include the Minnesota Twins Celebrity Classic Golf Tournament, which has raised more than $1.2 million in 13 years to benefit Lee Memorial Health System’s Regional Cancer Center, and a celebrity bowling tournament with partner Lee Memorial Foundation.

    The Twins can be found at Hammond Stadium in the Lee County Sports Complex in south Fort Myers for Spring Training. They are contracted through 2020. The stadium, which opened in the spring of 1991, is also home of the Twins’ Minor League team, The Fort Myers Miracle.
