FORT MYERS, Fla. - Feb. 19, 2025 - PRLog -- The annual Red Sox Celebrity Classic Event Series, which started in February, culminates with the 28th Annual Dinner on the Diamond March 5 at JetBlue Park in Fort Myers.

The Boston Red Sox have held spring training in Fort Myers since 1993 and have been holding events to support Golisano Children's Hospital for more than 30 years. This year, the series will again support the development of the new Golisano Children's Hospital Surgery Center.
