On Saturday, Aug. 19, 6 p.m., at Sherman Field, Boothbay Harbor, the Boothbay Region Ambulance Service (BRAS) is hosting a Red Sox Alumni celebrity softball game with the help of New England Charitable Promotions. Former Red Sox players Bill Lee, Ken Ryan, Jim Corsi and Billy Jo Robideau have confirmed their attendance, with other players expected.

In a change of original plans, the Boothbay Region High School football team -- not the BRAS crew -- will be playing the former pro baseball players.

The benefit of the fundraiser is earmarked to replace one of BRAS's four stretchers. The $15,000 fundraiser goal will be met by the generosity of Midcoast businesses advertising in the program and ticket sales.

"There is no direct community solicitation and we hope to be joined by as many as possible in the community for an afternoon of family fun," said Scott Lash, BRAS director of operations.

Tickets will be sold at the event and 100 percent of all concessions and ticket sales the day of the event will go towards the project. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students, and children 12 and under free. Concessions will be sold on the field with grilled hamburgers and hot dogs, cold drinks and more.
