Day number one of the 23rd annual W.EEI Nesson Jimmy Fund Radio Telethon,

and we are up to $71,628 donated.

If you're just joining us, we started the show off with some incredible generosity from a friend of the show,

Rob Hale, who is offering the match up to a million

dollars in donations if we get there by the end of tonight's socks game. So if you ever thought

about giving now is the time to do it. And I think we can get there. We're at 71,000 right now,

but I think we'll be able to get there.

So we're looking for your help.

You can call 877-338-1234 or if you want to give via text, you can text to give any amount.

Just text K-cancer to 5661-1-2.

And because we're here at Fenway, we thought we ought to get to the front office report this week today with Sam Kennedy, the president of the Boston Red Sox.

That is brought to you by Shaw's at Star Market, perfecting the art of fresh, and by Find MassMoney.gov.

Good morning, Sam.

Good morning, guys. Thanks so much for being on site. It's best two days of the year.

It really is. And so grateful for everything you guys are doing for Dana Farber and the Jimmy Fund.

Just awesome, awesome work by you and all the listeners.

And thanks.

It's a great thing.

We all got to do our part here over the next 48 hours.

Well, we were just talking with Bill O'Brien.

He was talking about growing up here.

And I know you did and experiencing the Jimmy Fund and what they do with Dana Farber for years.
