Furniture World News Desk on 5/20/2018

Jordan’s Furniture recently announced that delivered a truck full, literally, of baseball and softball equipment to Fenway Park for the Red Sox Foundation’s inner city youth baseball and softball program in May 19 at 8am to Gate B. The delivery includes over 32 boxes (the size of living room recliners!) of donated equipment.

Through their Double Play Youth Donation Program, Jordan’s Furniture collected like-new, clean baseball and softball equipment at all store locations to donate to the Red Sox Foundation’s RBI youth baseball and softball league teams.

“In this day and age of pay-to-play, there are thousands of kids that just cannot afford to play sports,” said Eliot Tatelman of Jordan’s Furniture. “We think that every youth should be able to enjoy America’s favorite pastime, so we created the Double Play Youth Donation Program. And with the help of the Red Sox Foundation, we are able to reach a lot of inner-city kids in our area.”

“The Red Sox Foundation’s RBI and Rookie League program is often the first introduction to baseball for many Boston inner-city kids, and with over 1,600 boys and girls participating, we are always in need of equipment,” said Red Sox Foundation Executive Director Bekah Salwasser. “We are grateful to Jordan’s Furniture for their annual equipment collection and value the consistent dedication they have had for this program each year.”

This is the eighth year that Jordan’s has run the charitable collection program. To see all of Jordan’s charitable programs, log onto www.jordans.com.
