Woonsocket Veteran Takes on The Green Monster at Fenway Park

CVS Caremark and the Boston Red Sox support individuals with disabilities at outing at Fenway Park.

Disabled veterans from across Rhode Island and Massachusetts gathered in Boston last week with friends and family to experience Fenway Park in an up-close and personal way – the result of a partnership between CVS Caremark and the Boston Red Sox to support individuals with disabilities.  

The disabled war veterans from across were treated to an incredible experience. Woonsocket-based CVS Caremark and the Boston Red Sox teamed up to create a special batting camp for the veterans. One of the 12 veterans who particpated in the event was Air Force veteran Mike Guilbault of Woonsocket.

The veterans worked closely with Red Sox Hitting Coach Dave Magadan, met Red Sox Catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, took photos in front of the Green Monster, ate lunch in the Red Sox dugout, had a VIP tour of the park and enjoyed the evening's game. The participating veterans were from different parts of Massachusett and from Rhode Island.
