We’re thrilled to announce that Lenny DiNardo, a 2004 World Series Championship Red Sox team member, will join us for Walk the Plank!

DiNardo, whom you may recognize as an in-studio analyst at NESN, played for the Red Sox from 2004-2006 and was part of the team that helped “break the curse” and bring the championship home for the team for the first time in 86 years.

We’re thrilled to have Lenny walk alongside our fundraisers and support our transformative programs, like our currently running Summer Ambassador Program, here at World Ocean School!
