“Through Field Of Dreams, we’re investing $1.1 million for our Blue Jays community to reconnect once it’s safe to do so,” said the Jays Care Foundation, referencing the current COVID-19 pandemic that has made sports gatherings more difficult.
Jays Care says it has committed over $8 million to 66 infrastructure projects across Canada in the last five years.
More details regarding this funding and other Field Of Dreams 2020 recipients are expected to come at a later date.
