BOSTON (AP) -- The Boston Red Sox will hold a two-day fundraising drive to benefit victims of this year's hurricane season.

The club said in a statement released Monday that volunteers will be collecting donations for the American Red Cross from fans at all five gates at Fenway Park from the time gates open until the end of the third inning, beginning with Tuesday night's game against Baltimore.

The donations will help Gulf Coast residents hit by Hurricane Gustav.

Another hurricane, Hanna, is currently in the southeastern Bahamas. Forecasters predict Hanna could come ashore in Georgia and South Carolina late in the week.

Gustav slammed into the heart of Louisiana's fishing and oil industry with 110 mph winds, but delivered only a glancing blow to New Orleans.
