Magellan wins pitch for Red Sox partnership
Magellan has ties to the baseball club through its work with former hitter David Ortiz' Children's Fund. Now it will fly both players and fans, and collaborate on future events to support the work of the Red Sox Foundation.

Charter broker Magellan Jets is now a proud partner of the Boston Red Sox. The multi-year partnership pairs the Boston, Massachusetts-based private jet company with its founders' iconic hometown professional baseball team.

"We're thrilled to partner with the Boston Red Sox, an organisation and brand that we as Boston locals have revered for our entire lives," says founder and CEO Joshua Hebert. "Throughout our 15 years as a company, it's always been important to us to be active in our greater Boston community, and this partnership represents that commitment. We're excited to help both players and fans elevate their travel with our safe, reliable, purely private solutions."

The private jet company is no stranger to the Boston baseball community, having worked together on philanthropic initiatives benefitting children. For the past several years, Magellan has had the privilege of working with David Ortiz, whose charity and celebrity golf tournaments help children in the Dominican Republic and New England receive critical cardiac care. Last summer, Magellan flew Ortiz to his Hall of Fame induction ceremony in Cooperstown, the culmination of the Fly with Ortiz Sweepstakes that raised $144k to support The Red Sox Foundation and the David Ortiz Children's Fund. Magellan Jets president Anthony Tivnan and Red Sox president Sam Kennedy also both serve on the board of Camp Harbor View, an organisation that inspires creativity, builds community and champions leadership among Boston's youth.

"The Red Sox are proud to partner with Magellan Jets, a brand with a shared commitment to providing world-class experiences with a demonstrated history of service to our community," says EVP, partnerships Troup Parkinson. "As Magellan becomes a more visible brand around the ballpark, we look forward to collaborating on future initiatives and events that bolster the important work of the Red Sox Foundation."

The partnership will see Magellan and the Boston Red Sox introduce co-branded signage around the team's home at Fenway Park, including inside the visiting team's locker room. The two companies will also collaborate on future promotions and events, including another Legends Flight Experience to benefit The Red Sox Foundation.
