Youth & Amateur Athletics - Yawkey Foundation Yawkey Foundation Youth & Amateur Athletics Support Youth & Amateur Athletics Tom and Jean Yawkey loved baseball. Tom grew up around the game, played while at Yale University, and understood its value in bringing players, fans and communities together.
He purchased the Boston Red Sox in 1933 and as much as being the team owner, he also took great joy in participating in batting practice at Fenway Park and sitting alongside fans in the bleachers to watch a game. Tom and Jean Yawkey were committed to supporting youth athletics so that all young people had the opportunity to play and enjoy the game of baseball.
The Yawkeys recognized that team sports, particularly baseball and softball, build important skills that would benefit players off the field – such as cooperation, respect, sharing, and discipline. This tradition of supporting quality youth recreation programs, particularly baseball and softball programs, continues today through the work of the Yawkey Foundation.
In many instances, funding from the Yawkey Foundation supports the very things Tom and Jean Yawkey provided many years ago – quality fields, new equipment, and programs providing ample opportunities for teamwork, sportsmanship and play. Please be advised that the Yawkey Foundation is currently focusing its Youth & Amateur Athletics category Program & Small Capital on baseball and softball.
