The makers of Smith Brothers Cough Drops have announced that the company will donate a portion of all sales throughout the World Series to the Jimmy Fund, a charity partnered with the Red Sox that benefits the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
But why? Smith Brothers vice president Mark McCumby explains: “The Jimmy Fund is an extraordinary organization. Mike Napoli and Jonny Gomes look just like the Smith Brothers.”
As it turns out, it’s a phenomenal call:
