As we near the end of the summer and the beginning of another school year, we want to thank our dedicated team for all their hard work this past year! To celebrate our staff, Doc Wayne hosted our third annual Field Day last Friday, July 25, at Coolidge Park in Brookline. The team competed in games like dodgeball, water balloon toss, basketball, and kickball before running back to the office to avoid the surprise afternoon thunderstorms. Thank you to the entire Doc Wayne family for all of the time and effort you put in each and every day. Here's to another incredible year!

Earlier this month, members of the Doc Wayne family were invited for a game and batting practice experience at Fenway Park to watch the Boston Red Sox take on the Tampa Bay Rays. The Doc Wayne group was able to go on the field before the game, watch batting practice, and take in a Red Sox win in a fierce divisional rivalry.

This season, the Red Sox are shining a spotlight on community nonprofits working to expand access to mental health and wellness support across New England through their Changeup the Conversation initiative. We are proud to partner with the Red Sox on this incredible initiative, and together, we’re raising awareness, challenging stigma, and creating meaningful, positive experiences for youth and adults.

We would like to extend a big thank you to the and for hosting us at the game and for all of their efforts to promote mental health and wellness this season and beyond!

This past week, members of our team attended the 2025 FundPlay Summit at Fenway Park, joining fellow sports-based youth development leaders from across Massachusetts and beyond.

We’re grateful to be part of this incredible community of change makers using sport as a force for good and we're especially thankful to FundPlay for bringing this gathering to Boston!💚
