Florida and Boston are coming together in a big way to raise money for Hurricane Irma relief.
The Boston Red Sox, Tampa Bay Rays, Boston Bruins and Florida Panthers are partnering to collect donations for Floridians after the hurricane moved toward the southern part of the state Saturday. Donations will be collected at all Fenway Park gates Sunday, Sept. 10, before and during the Red Sox’s 1:35 p.m. ET game against the Rays.
Players from the Red Sox, Rays, Bruins and Panthers will help collect the money, which will go to the Red Cross.
The Panthers evacuated to Massachusetts to join their AHL affiliate, the Springfield Thunderbirds, until the hurricane passes.
UPDATE (Sunday, Sept. 10, 10 a.m. ET):Â If you’re heading to the Red Sox game on Sunday, be on the lookout for Bruins defenseman Torey Krug and others, who will be collecting donations at the Fenway gates before and during the contest.
