The Encore Boston Harbor casino in Massachusetts announced Wednesday a multi-year partnership with MLB's Boston Red Sox. With the newly formed collaboration, the resort now has partnerships with all the region's professional sports teams, including Boston Bruins, Boston Celtics, New England Patriots, and New England Revolution. 

To celebrate the partnership, Encore Boston Harbor has made $25,000 donations to the Red Sox Foundation, Shamrock Foundation, Boston Bruins Foundation, and Patriots Foundation.

The donations were commemorated by check presentations with Encore Boston Harbor President Jenny Holaday; Executive Vice President of Social Impact and Executive Director of the Red Sox Foundation Bekah Salwasser; Senior Vice President of the Boston Celtic Dave Hoffman; Senior Director of Community Relations of the Boston Bruins Kerry Collins; and Pro Football Hall of Fame Executive Director of Community Affairs for the New England Patriots Andre Tippett.

"This newest collaboration between two of Boston's most recognizable organizations demonstrates a commitment to the fundamentals of what makes Boston special. Together, both the Boston Red Sox and Encore Boston Harbor will continue to invest in community organizations, build on Boston's passion for sports, and offer top-level entertainment to Encore Boston Harbor guests and baseball fans alike," a press release read. 

Under the partnership, the organizations will jointly participate in marketing and co-branded program elements, including complimentary shuttle service to Encore Boston Harbor from Fenway Park after each Red Sox home game; Red Sox Ticket and overnight stay packages; Team-related events held at Encore Boston Harbor, including watch parties, a Boston Red Sox take-over day, and Red Sox Foundation events.  

Jenny Holaday, president of Encore Boston Harbor, said: "Boston is the city of champions, and Encore Boston Harbor is proud to be a partner of all the city's major sports teams. We truly believe this makes us the premiere destination for all sports enthusiasts and entertainment seekers."  

Troup Parkinson, EVP, of Partnerships, Boston Red Sox, said: "The Red Sox are proud to partner with Encore Boston Harbor, an organization highly regarded as a staple to Boston locals and tourists and revered for playing an active role in the Greater Boston community."

"Through this partnership, Red Sox fans will have access to exclusive offers to enhance their gameday experience with Encore Boston Harbor as a post-game destination," he concluded.  

This isn't the only partnership the Red Sox have signed as of late. As companies seek to expand their relationships with state teams following the recent legalization of sports betting, BetMGM was named an official partner of the MLB team earlier this month.
