World Series Park Wall of Fame celebrating two years

Wicked Local
The World Series Park Wall of Fame plaque, located on the World Series Park building, is constantly updated with new names

World Series Park Superintendent Bob Davis issued the following press release

Installed and dedicated two years ago, the World Series Park Wall of Fame is still available to sign up for.

Those interested in supporting World Series Park can have their name, inclusion of their spouse’s name, inclusion of their family, business name or organization name on the plaque for a minimum donation of $100.

Donations can also be made in honor of others or in memory of past loved ones. The permanent 4 foot by 8 foot plaque is located on the field side of the building and is lighted at night.

“Someone recently asked if it was still possible to get a name on the Wall of Fame,” said World Series Park Superintendent Bob Davis. “Over the past two years we’ve had an unbelievable response to the Wall. Over 100 donations have been made. Since there’s still some room on the plaque, we offer the opportunity to add names. The plaque honors those who donate, either for themselves or in honor or in memory of past love ones. World Series Park really appreciates the generosity of these donors. Funds raised go to the upkeep of the park. Our goal continues to be to provide a first-class facility for playing baseball in Saugus and to encourage the youth of Saugus to play baseball.”

Donations can be made through the General Electric Matching Gifts Program. A GE employee, a GE retiree or the spouse of a deceased retiree are eligible to make a donation that GE will match.

To do this the donor needs to contact the GE Foundation Matching Gifts Center at 1-800-305-0669 and provide them with their social security number, 01906 zip code and the amount and date of the donation. Also, inform GE that the gift is being made to the World Series Park Committee, which is registered with them.

Donations to World Series Park for inclusion on the Wall of Fame should be sent to World Series Park, 8 Holden Ave., Saugus, MA 01906. Checks should be made payable to World Series Park. The World Series Park Committee is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, charitable organization. Donations are tax-exempt. For any questions please contact Bob Davis at 781-233-4555.
