Butch Stearns is the main sports anchor for FOX 25 News and has a wide range of experience covering sports as an anchor, studio host, sideline reporter, producer, and sports radio host.  He’s traveled across the country to cover all kinds of sports teams and says Boston is the most exciting place to be ― where fans demand relevant, in-depth coverage of their teams.

Stearns has covered the Patriots’ three Super Bowl victories, the Red Sox history-making comeback against the Yankees for the 2004 ALCS Championship, and the Red Sox World Series Championships in 2004 and 2007.  For many years he’s been lucky enough to cover the number one sports rivalry of all time: Red Sox vs. Yankees, which has fueled some of the most colorful, unique sports stories ever to be beamed into New England homes. 

A native of Braintree, he attended Stonehill College in Easton where he earned a bachelor's degree in business administration. Since 1987 he and his family have managed the Arthur F. Stearns Memorial Fund, an organization that donates money to disabled children on the South Shore in memory of Butch’s father, Artie Stearns. 

The Sinai Men's Associates was founded by a group of men interested in providing volunteer and financial support to the hospital and its patients. Members serve as ambassadors to the community, and are involved in a variety of fund raising activities and the sponsorship of patient/family programs.
