These children will have a meet and greet at FireWolves practice on Friday before joining the FireWolves on the field for the starting lineups and national anthem at the game on Saturday. MVP Health Care will also sponsor the "I Fight For" signs which will be available for fans to show their support for loved ones that have been impacted by cancer.

"MVP Health Care is proud to partner with the Albany FireWolves to support the Tucker Out Lymphoma and Box Out Cancer game," said MVP Health Care's Vice President of Strategic Provider Engagement and Care Management, Augusta Martin. "We stand united in the fight against cancer and are committed to supporting our community's health and well-being. Together, we can make a difference and bring hope to those affected by this disease."
