Pedro hosting toy drive to support the Jimmy Fund and the Pedro Martinez and Brothers Foundation


While we all know Pedro Martinez as the fierce competitor that he was on the mound for seven seasons with the Red Sox, it's important to know that his heart is greater than his Hall of Fame credentials.

Back in 1998, Martinez founded the Pedro Martinez and Brothers Foundation. To read more about the foundation and what they have accomplished since their inception, click here.

Martinez will host a toy drive at HomeGoods in Bedford, Massachusetts to support pediatric cancer patients at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the underprivileged youth in the Dominican Republic through the Pedro Martinez and Brothers Foundation.

The toy drive will be held on Saturday December 3, from 5pm to 7pm at HomeGoods, Great Road Shopping Center, 309 Great Rd. (Route 4, next to TJMaxx) in Bedford.

Attendees who donate two new, unwrapped toys during the event, will receive one autograph from Pedro Martinez who will be signing in person at the event. Attendees should bring their own items to be signed and no photographs please.

For more information about the toy drive please contact Scott Shuster, Jimmy Fund Council of Greater Boston at 617-393-2311.
