/PRNewswire/ -- CVS Caremark and the Boston Red Sox hit it out of
the park today as they launched the 2008 season of the CVS Caremark
All Kids Can Baseball Camps at Fenway Park. The baseball camps are
the result of a team endeavor that provides New England children
with disabilities a dream-fulfilling opportunity to play ball at
Fenway Park and get batting tips from Red Sox Batting Coach Dave
Magadan. Leading off the 2008 camp season today was Little League
"Challenger" players from Cumberland, R.I. The camps are part of
the signature CVS Caremark All Kids Can program, which focuses on
helping children with disabilities learn, play and succeed in life.
The CVS Caremark All Kids Can Baseball Camps include batting
practice in the Red Sox batting cage with Red Sox Batting Coach
Dave Magadan; on-field batting practice with Magadan; a photo
opportunity and lunch in the Red Sox dugout; a visit from Red Sox
mascot Wally the Green Monster; a VIP tour of Fenway Park; early
entry to the Red Sox batting practice; and tickets to the game in
the CVS/pharmacy Family Section. "We're looking forward to another
terrific season of giving New England children with disabilities a
once in a lifetime experience at Fenway Park," said Eileen Howard
Dunn, Senior Vice President of Corporate Communications and
Community Relations for CVS Caremark Corporation. This is the first
of seven CVS Caremark All Kids Can Baseball Camps that will run
this season through August 13. In planning the camps, CVS Caremark
reached out to coaches of Little League Challenger teams, Miracle
League teams and inclusive baseball teams in the New England area
to apply for an opportunity to attend one of the camps. The camps
are part of a continued, 6-year partnership between CVS Caremark
and the Boston Red Sox, demonstrating their shared commitment to
local children with disabilities. CVS Caremark All Kids Can(TM), a
program of the CVS Caremark Charitable Trust and supported by CVS
Caremark, is a 5-year, $25 million commitment to making life easier
for children with disabilities. Through this signature program, CVS
Caremark and the Trust will support nonprofit organizations that
provide innovative programs and services in local communities
focused on helping children with disabilities learn, play and
succeed in life. CONTACT: Dawn Ratte 401-453-4748; 401-580-9597
