The Boston Globe Publishes Article on The BASE Purchase of 150 Shirley Street in Roxbury<\/h4>\n

On September 12, 2024, we announced The BASE purchased our facility at 150 Shirley St., along with the adjacent lot at 136 Shirley St., in Roxbury. As a result, in the years ahead we will have the capacity to make deeper investments in programs and serve more young people and families.\u00a0This investment marks the beginning of a new era for The BASE and demonstrates our commitment to our community. We are now property owners with a vested stake in the future of Roxbury and the Newmarket neighborhood. Our vision is to create intergenerational impact through sports and education, developing young leaders to succeed and become property owners, themselves, right here in Boston.<\/p>\n

CBS Boston F<\/strong>eatures BASE Alumnus and Baseball Instructor Jaime Roldan as WBZ MVP of the Week<\/h4>\n

WBZ-TV, Channel 4, Boston’s CBS affiliate, came out to The BASE and spoke with Jaime Roldan, one of the many BASE alumni who come back to work and serve our new generation of student-athletes. It was wonderful to see the CBS crew capture Jaime’s story of perserverance and the role that sports and The BASE have played in his success. Check out the video!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
