Here is a preview of Sox Serve Week:
To kick off our Annual Sox Serve Week, the wives and girlfriends of the Chicago White Sox team are spending their day with our friends at Misericordia, assisting in their vocational training programs. From the bakery to the gardens, they will spend their morning making memories and learning about the wonderful opportunities Misericordia offers its residents. That evening, the Chicago White Sox will welcome Misericordia staff to enjoy a game from our Community Clubhouse Suite, presented by RUSH.
Ever wondered what it’s like to work for a Major League Baseball Team? Day two of Sox Serve Week we will host ACE and Teflon athletes as they shadow members of the Chicago White Sox Front Office to get a behind the scenes look and learn about the different roles within the organization.
In partnership with Roc Solid Foundation, 100 members of the White Sox Volunteer Corps, presented by Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois, will gather for a lively, high-impact event that will take place at the ballpark to build backyard playsets that will be gifted to kids fighting cancer.
The White Sox will recognize the 2024 recipient of the organization’s Roland Hemond Award, created to celebrate selfless individuals who have gone above and beyond for others in the community. This year’s recipient will throw the game’s ceremonial first pitch and receive a $2,500 donation to the nonprofit organization of their choosing. More information is available at whitesox.com/hemondaward.
Charities Day returns, presented by NBC Sports Chicago, simultaneous to the telecast of Wednesday’s game. Beginning at 7 p.m., fans can support White Sox Charities to receive limited-edition items, including t-shirts and socks featuring John Schriffen, Steve Stone, Ozzie Guillen and Chuck Garfien, mystery autographed baseballs, water bottles and more.
White Sox Front Office employees will gather at a volunteer opportunity making peanut butter + jelly sandwiches and packing snack bags for Matthew House, a nonprofit community-based organization, that provides food, daytime shelter, permanent supportive housing, and supportive services to men, women, families, and children who are experiencing or at risk of becoming homeless.
During a special pregame ceremony, presented by Peoples Gas, the White Sox will recognize the Chicagoland non-profit organizations receiving 2024 grant support through White Sox Charities and the White Sox Community Fund, a McCormick Foundation Fund.
