YOU Vs Cancer

Now batting for a great cause -- YOU.

TODAY - Join the Charlotte Knights at Truist Field from 3pm to 7pm for YOU Vs. Cancer Batting Practice.

For a $20 donation, you'll get:

Ten swings in the batter's box
Hot dog
Cold soda or beer

If ten swings aren't enough, you can add ten more for $10.

Plus, we'll have targets set up, hit the mark, and win great prizes from Chick-fil-A, Harris Teeter, DICK'S Sporting Goods, and Domino's.

If you don't want to hit but want to watch, you can still join us. For a $10 donation, come out and have a hot dog and beverage with us.

All proceeds benefit the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.

Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children in the US. Brain cancer is the deadliest form of pediatric cancer.

13 children are diagnosed with a brain tumor everyday.

46 children are diagnosed with any type of cancer everyday.

Only 4% of federal government cancer research funding is allocated to pediatric cancer, with even less to brain tumors.

Every 3 minutes, somewhere in the world a family hears their child has been diagnosed with cancer.

There are 28,000 children living with a brain or central nervous system tumor in the US right now.

One in four families lose more than 40% of their annual household income as a result of childhood cancer treatment-related work disruption, while one in three families face other work disruptions such as having to quit work or change jobs.
