2/19/2020 3:39:00 PM | Softball
PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Providence College softball team has teamed up with the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation vs. Cancer and will celebrate their efforts on April 22, 2020 at 4:00 pm during its home game against Boston College. Following the game, the team will be holding a Homerun Derby in an additional effort to raise awareness and funds. This event will be open to the Providence College campus and will run from 6:00pm-8:00pm at Glay Field.
More children die from cancer in the United States than any other disease. Throughout the season the team will be raising awareness and funds for local kids with cancer. In partnership with vs. Cancer, the team has selected the pediatric Hasbro Children's Hospital to receive a portion of the funds they raise.
Started by pediatric brain cancer survivor and former collegiate baseball player Chase Jones, vs. Cancer empowers any sports team, any athlete, and any community to help kids with cancer. As a signature fundraising campaign of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, vs. Cancer proceeds help fund child life programs in local hospitals and groundbreaking research to cure pediatric brain tumors, the deadliest childhood cancer.
Kimberly Roy-Canning, director of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation's Northeast region, understands how vital these athletes are to the nonprofit's mission. "We applaud the efforts and generous spirit of the Providence College softball team! Vs. Cancer wasn't just built by athletes for athletes. We were started by a pediatric brain cancer survivor, and we see every day how important family support and research are for children to thrive. With the support of this incredible team, we're fighting for healthier, happier futures for these kids!"
