“I love working at the stadium and take a lot of pride in working there,” said Chrystal Gillette, who welcomes guests to the building and assists them in getting to the right place for their vaccine. “For me, it was amazing to have this opportunity and be able to enjoy this event for free with my son.”

As Massachusetts continues its large-scale vaccination efforts, this event served as a small token of appreciation for the hard work of the staff that have helped exceed 350,000 vaccines administered at Gillette Stadium. The Gillette Stadium vaccination site is operated by CIC Health, with assistance from Fallon Ambulance, Mass General Brigham, DMSE Sports and PWN Health, all of whom were invited to enjoy the Hot Wheels Ultimate Drive-Thru with their families.

Gillette Stadium is hosting the Hot Wheels Ultimate Drive-Thru Thursday through Sunday, from March 19 through April 18, 2021. Tickets for this contactless, family-friendly experience are available at https://hotwheelsmonstertruckslive.com/event/foxborough/.
