The Black Sox Baseball club has been a leader in community involvement for over 29 years.The organization challenged the 8 teams participating in their Old Timers Alumni game to a 100 can challenge in honor of the 100th anniversary of the Black Sox Baseball Scandal. Each team was charged with the task of collecting 100 or more cans of nonperishable food items to reach their goal of 2,000 food items and $1,000 in monetary donations. They far exceeded these goals, and their donations will directly benefit hunger relief programs in New Jersey and across the country!
More than 103,000 residents of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, including 1 in 7 children, face hunger. Many thanks to the Black Sox Baseball Club, Toms River East Little League, the New Jersey Warehousemen & Movers Association and Sea Cure Moving & Storage of Tuckerton, whose successful teamwork provided thousands of meals to their neighbors in need.
