Aura and Blue Star Families Host VIP Experience at Fenway Park for Military Kids in Celebration of Month of the Military Child

BOSTON, April 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Aura, the leading AI-powered online safety solution, and Blue Star Families are proud to partner with the Boston Red Sox to host an unforgettable event to celebrate the Month of the Military Child. Thirty military children and their families will step away from screen time and into a once-in-a-lifetime experience at Fenway Park  — playing a friendly softball game on the field their Red Sox heroes call home, getting an exclusive behind-the-scenes stadium tour, and enjoying a meal in the historic Ford Clubhouse.

Aura and Blue Star Families partnered three years ago to tackle the unique digital safety challenges faced by military families. In parallel, Aura joined forces with the Boston Red Sox last year in a multi-year partnership aimed at bringing Boston families together safely, becoming the team's official Family Online Safety Partner. Together, these partnerships come to life in a special event at Fenway Park, honoring military kids who took Aura's new Balance Pledge. The pledge — launched alongside Aura's new AI tools for parents — encourages kids to reduce screen time by 50%, build stronger offline connections, and create lasting memories beyond the digital world.

"It's vital to give back and celebrate military kids and families, who not only face the challenges of frequent moves and deployments, but are also prime targets for online crime. We're proud to offer these kids a day of fun at Fenway Park — a chance to step away from their devices and support their mental and emotional well-being," said Charlie Moore, Aura's Chief Military Officer.

With 95% of teens owning smartphones, excessive screen time has been linked to increased mental health risks. "We're grateful for Aura's dedication to protecting military families from online crime while also making digital balance for kids a top priority," said Jeffrey Chin, Executive Director of Blue Star Families of New England.

Families are overwhelmed with technology, and Aura is dedicated to helping military families navigate these challenges by providing tools that prioritize digital safety and promote healthier tech habits.
