PAWTUCKET, RI — PawSox fans that are missing McCoy stadium now have the chance to have their name in lights, for a good cause. Fans can have a special message written on the stadium's scoreboard with a donation of any amount to the PawSox Foundation. Following the donation, the foundation will email a high-resolution photo of the message, which can include photos or artistic images. "We recognize that so many in our community have had to miss celebrations, graduations, and family events because of the pandemic," PawSox President Charles Steinberg said. "So we are seeking to help create commemorative cards and photos that are unique and reflective of the sentiments friends and family still wish to share." Fans are encouraged to submit messages for Father's Day, graduations, thank-yous to front line workers and more. Submissions can be made on the team's website. Procees will go towards the PawSox Foundation to support those in need during the coronavirus pandemic. "When our friends at the Boston Red Sox recently started a similar program, we recognized that we too could help families enjoy their moments while helping those impacted by this unprecedented phenomenon," Steinberg said.
