For the eighth consecutive year, MLB and its clubs will raise awareness for childhood cancer for a special league-wide day in home ballparks during all games today through the MLB Together platform.

Held during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, this effort will combine a visual and ceremonial demonstration of support for the cause with outreach to local hospitals treating young patients in their
communities.

All on-field personnel, including players, managers, coaches, and umpires will wear gold ribbon decals and wristbands during games. Additionally, all 30 MLB clubs will have individual activations that may include youth participation in pregame ceremonies, visits from players and mascots, and other special recognitions.

Additionally, clubs will have nonprofit partners that may include local hospital partners or organizations focused on childhood cancer, such as Stand Up To Cancer, the American Cancer Society, and the Starlight Children’s Foundation.  

Each year, it is projected that more than 10,000 children younger than 15 will be diagnosed with cancer in the United States and 300,000 globally. MLB Together, in partnership with committed leaders in this cause, is dedicated to eradicating cancer as a disease affecting young people.
