During the 20th Annual Red Sox Wives Can & Cash Drive, the Wives distribute autographed photos of Red Sox players in exchange for 10 non-perishable food items or a $10 donation.
Since The Food Bank and the Wives will be stationed outside the gates, fans do not need a ticket to the game to participate in the fundraiser.
