2008 Hot Stove, Cool Music a Huge Success

Music and baseball teamed up once again this summer to hit another homerun for charity at the fourth annual Hot Stove, Cool Music: The Fenway Park Sessions.

The charity fundraiser took place at the Bank of America Pavillion on Sunday, August 17.

Boston all-star musicians, athletes, and celebrities came together for a special concert to benefit Boston Red Sox GM Theo Epstein's Foundation To Be Named Later, of which Horizons for Homeless Children is a beneficiary.

The show featured Buddy Guy, George Thorogood, Peter Gammons and the Hot Stove All Stars among others.

About Foundation To Be Named Later
The Foundation To Be Named Later (FTBNL) was launched in Spring of 2005 by Paul Epstein, a social worker in the Brookline Public School system, and his brother, Red Sox General Manager Theo Epstein, with the mission of raising funds and awareness for non-profit agencies in the Greater Boston area serving disadvantaged youth.

The chief fundraiser for FTBNL is the Hot Stove, Cool Music Concert Series.  In July 2005, the FTBNL benefited from the inaugural summer concert, Hot Stove, Cool Music: The Fenway Park Sessions.  In October of 2005, FTBNL distributed its first round of gifts to eight non-profit agencies chosen for their outstanding work with youth.
