MLB hosts Childhood Cancer Awareness Day

Players Weekend brought a splash of seemingly every color to Major League Baseball fields, with special uniforms and equipment that served as a fun nod to youth baseball.

MLB + Stand Up To Cancer

Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) is a groundbreaking initiative created to accelerate innovative cancer research that gets new therapies to patients quicker. Major League Baseball and its 30 Clubs have donated more than $40 million to SU2C since the partnership was first formed in 2009. As a founding donor, MLB has conducted significant awareness-building efforts through public service announcements, in-stadium promotions and various fundraising events.

Ways to Donate

Stand Up To Cancer's (SU2C) mission is to raise funds to accelerate the pace of groundbreaking translational research that can get new therapies to patients quickly and save lives now.

Launch a Star

The Constellation is a place to honor everyone who has received a cancer diagnosis. For as little as a $5 donation you can launch a new star or add to the existing star of someone you love.
