Description

The Ted Williams Camp Alumni of Lakeville, MA is raising funds for the Jimmy Fund. 

Ted Williams was one of the founding fathers of the Jimmy Fund but was also a co-founder of the Ted Williams Baseball Camp in Lakeville, Massachusetts.  The baseball camp operated from 1958-1986. Coaches from all around the country came and gave instruction, and Ted Williams himself was there a great deal teaching and guiding the young players. The camp served a wide range of campers from all across the country as well. After the camp closed, the town purchased the land but kept its identity intact.  The camp property and the activities that go on there now are overseen by the Lakeville Park Department. On July 18, 2020, we will host a reunion at the lodge of the camp. Attendees will include past Ted Williams Camp coaches, family members, former Red Sox players, and the local community. At our 2018 reunion, we doubled our fundraising goal and were acknowledged at Fenway Park for our achievements thanks to all of our wonderful donors and sponsors.  We would like future reunions to have even more success. We are a group of volunteers who adore the legacy of the camp and who want to do a good deed for the man who founded their beloved facility. It is our hope that you will consider supporting the event and we can count on your commitment to help us attain our fundraising goal. We appreciate your generosity and it and your company will be acknowledged in various forms.
