In an effort to cut screen time by 50 percent and build healthy digital habits, the Red Sox partnered with the cybersecurity company Aura and Blue Star Families, an organization to empower military families, for a softball game for children with family members in the military.
In order to participate in the game at Fenway Park on April 25, the kids made a pledge to build healthy digital habits.
“Part of what happens is that when you’re a military family and you move a lot, the way you stay connected to family and friends is through online, through gaming, through social media, through a lot of digital means,” said Jeff Chin, current Lieutenant Commander in the Navy and Blue Star Families New England chapter Executive Director.
