Looking for a chance to see the Red Sox this summer?

The Boys and Girls Club is selling $5 raffle tickets for a chance to win two seats at the July 2 game against the Texas Rangers. The seats are along the first base line, section 10, box 97, row SS, seats 11 and 12.

The drawing will take place at the Hopkinton Memorial Day cookout at the American Legion on May 28. You do not need to be present to win.

All proceeds from the raffle will go to the first annual Boys and Girls Club Cape Eleuthera Institute Leadership Program. The Cape Eleuthera Institute is a facility that promotes a connection between people and the environment.

The program will provide a learning opportunity for the staff and 10 club teens who have been nominated based on their contribution to the club and community, proven ability to follow through on commitment and potential for growth. This curriculum will encourage individual growth of each participant while enhancing their contribution to their own community. They will be learning about tropical environments and sustainable design, including biodiesel, wind and solar energy.

Specific outcomes of the program will be designing a community project focusing on sustainability to implement at home; creating a program for the younger members at the club focusing on self-esteem development; design an educational presentation on the trip to present to the community; and develop skill in teamwork, leadership and self-reliance.

“It’s been amazing to see this group come together as a team,” said Hopkinton club director Carol Morse.

Morse, along with two other highly qualified trip leaders, will be joining the teens this summer on this adventure.

“The teens will be learning teamwork and communication skills that they can use for the rest of their lives. This program will help bring them and the club to the next level. I am honored to be part of this experience with them.”

This is just one fundraising event the group has organized to help fund the program. They also coordinated a number of activities in April, including a middle school dance in Concord, live music show at Columbia Hall in Hopkinton, a bake sale, a car wash and a 10,000 title book sale.

Tickets are available now, right up until the drawing at the American Legion. If you are interested, contact Carol Morse at 746-3474.
