"I got something for you guys. I always do a pledge for the Jimmy Fund, and I know the power thing is a theme in Boston. As soon as somebody hits 20 home runs, I'm gonna give $20,000 to the Jimmy Fund. That's how sure we are that we're gonna have power."
"The pledge would be Cora's single largest public donation to the Jimmy Fund, a Boston-based organization with strong Red Sox ties that raises funds for cancer care and research at the city's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute."
"In 2021, Boston's skipper donated $113.13 for each win recorded by the club. The Red Sox won 92 regular season games, totaling $10,407.96. Cora also donated $13 for every run Boston scored that season; the team plated 829 runs, amounting to $10,777."
Alex Cora, manager of the Boston Red Sox, has committed to donating $20,000 to the Jimmy Fund whenever a Red Sox player reaches 20 home runs during the 2026 season. Cora made this pledge during an appearance on WEEI's "The Greg Hill Show," expressing strong confidence in the team's power potential following offseason additions and positive spring training results. While some roster questions remain regarding Opening Day and the infield configuration, Cora feels optimistic about the offensive capabilities of the current squad. This donation would represent Cora's largest single public contribution to the Jimmy Fund, a Boston-based cancer research organization with deep Red Sox connections. Cora has a history of supporting the Jimmy Fund through various pledge initiatives tied to team performance.
