BOSTON -- Red Sox slugger David Ortiz hosted the fourth annual David Ortiz Children's Fund Gala at the Boston Park Plaza on Monday night.
The charitable gala was a part of his season-long farewell tour, and all proceeds from the fundraiser will benefit the David Ortiz Children's Fund.
"I've been doing this for years, and every year, [the event] just keeps getting better and better," Ortiz said. "There's a lot of sick kids out there and the reality is, God gave me the opportunity to be in this position. It's not just to benefit ourselves.
