Partnership with the Worcester Red Sox
Assumption College
Assumption College became the exclusive higher education partner of the Worcester Red Sox in 2019. Assumption is part of the elite 21 Founding Partners group welcoming the team to the city. Assumption and the Worcester Red Sox are working closely together, with students interning at McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket, where the team currently plays until the new Polar Park in Worcester is complete. Assumption has partnered with the team on market research projects, students have volunteered at several Sox events, and the school will be an integral part of the team’s presence in the city. The program offers many opportunities, including holding classes at Polar Park for students and Worcester residents, partnering with the Sox on community relations initiatives, and exploring ways to support public school students. It is a one-of-a-kind partnership and Assumption is proud to be the exclusive Higher Education Founding Partner. The partnership is more than a typical sponsorship — it embraces the culture of both organizations which work collaboratively to benefit the students, the team, and the city of Worcester.
