Pink baseball jerseys and pink bases helped raise more than $13,000 for the fight against breast cancer at the Lexington Legends' Breast Cancer Awareness night, called "Pink at the Park," Saturday, July 11.
The funds will benefit Kentucky Cancer Link, UK Markey Cancer Center and Susan G. Komen.
Money was raised from the auction of special game jerseys worn by Legends players that night, along with the sale of pink t-shirts, pink bases used during the game, a dinner held at Whitaker Bank Ballpark before the game, and other donations. "Pink at the Park" was sponsored by LBX.
"We want to thank everyone who took part in Breast Cancer Awareness Night," said Legends President/CEO Andy Shea. "We're very proud to be part of this cause."
