BOSTON — Kevin Youkilis Hits for Kids today announced the launch of the first “Batting for Books” campaign to benefit the Boston Public Schools. Together with the City of Boston and the Boston Red Sox, the slugger’s charitable organization is dedicated to enhancing the Boston Public Schools by collecting over 100,000 new or gently used books to donate to the schools’ libraries. Book donations will be collected at each of Fenway Park’s five gates during the Red Sox weekend series against the Kansas City Royals on Saturday, July 11 and Sunday, July 12. “We are so excited to launch this program because we know that it will have an immediate positive impact on the public school libraries throughout Greater Boston,” said Youkilis, one of the Co-Founder’s of the organization. “Our school’s libraries are in desperate need of new books, and without spending a dime, contributors to the book drive will be able to directly support the reading skills and overall education of our city’s children.”
