Red Sox Foundation Provides Free Screening & Care Pkgs

THE RED SOX FOUNDATION INVITES YOU TO A PRIVATE FREE SCREENING OF THE AWARD-WINNING FILM HONORING MILITARY FAMILIES AND VOLUNTEERS

The Red Sox Foundation is proud to present this highly-acclaimed documentary, The Way We Get By, will screen on Monday, October 12 from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Regal 13 Cinemas, 401 Park Drive, Boston (Theatre down the street from Fenway Park).

Screening at 1 PM with Volunteer Service to follow, in which those attending the film will quickly assemble care packages for US troops serving overseas (RSF will provide supplies and mail all packages).

Fresh off its recent successful New York City, Washington DC and Los Angeles theatrical premieres, The Way We Get By continues its campaign to rally support for volunteer activities for military families.

The Way We Get By is a deeply moving film about life and how to live it. Beginning as a seemingly idiosyncratic story about a group of senior citizens who gather daily at a small New England airport to greet American soldiers departing and returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, the film quickly turns into a moving story about aging, loneliness, war and mortality. The story of these exemplary Mainers has been praised by The Boston Globe, The New York Times and Los Angeles Times as a film that is “filled with a rare honesty and intimacy that makes for a rewarding film experience,” and proof that volunteerism can significantly impact an entire community.

Since its completion, The Way We Get By has inspired audiences across the country. From war veterans to elderly volunteers, the film has provided hope to everyday citizens during this time of economic turmoil. The Way We Get By has been honored with the Special Jury Award at the South by Southwest Film Festival, the Golden Rock award for Best Documentary at the 3rd Little Rock Film Festival and the Audience Award at Full Frame Documentary Film Festival in Durham, North Carolina. At the Cleveland Film Festival, it beat out 28 films to win the Greg Gund Memorial Film Competition, which recognizes films for their social conscience.
