Home Base

After a successful debut in 2019, the Home Base Team is back for the third year of raising funds to help heal the invisible wounds of war for Veterans, Service Members, their Families and Families of the Fallen.

Home Base, a Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital Program, is dedicated to supporting Veterans, Service Members, their Families and Families of the Fallen through world-class clinical care, wellness, education and research. As a National Center of Excellence, Home Base operates the first and largest private-sector clinic in the nation devoted to healing invisible wounds such as post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injury, anxiety, depression, co-occurring substance use disorder, military sexual trauma, family relationship challenges and other issues associated with service. Since its inception, Home Base has served more than 24,000 Veterans and family members with care and support, trained more than 75,000 clinicians, educators and community members nationally and remains at the forefront of discovering new treatments– ensuring a brighter future for the 21st-century warrior and military family. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is profound and continues to grow. At Home Base, we sustained a 20% reduction in funding for some of our crucial and underfunded programs to include our Traumatic Brain Injury programs and the Families of the Fallen program.

Home Base runners raise money to ensure Home Base is able to provide this crucial care to these men, women, and families.

In the words of Team Captain, General Jack Hammond “Today we are able to treat hundreds of thousands of people, but we still lose more than 20 veterans each day, and we’ve lost 100,000 veterans to suicide since 9/11. That is a staggering number. It is an epidemic. We’re here to help try to stem the tide of veterans committing suicide.”

Their mission is complete. Ours has just begun.
