Cancer Awareness Night July 16

On Saturday July 16th, the Chiefs are hosting Cancer Awareness Night at the ballpark presented by Illinois CancerCare and the Illinois CancerCare Foundation. The Chiefs and Illinois CancerCare will be honoring local cancer survivors for their bravery and courage in fighting this terrible disease. The Illinois CancerCare Foundation will be distributing FREE tickets to hundreds of area cancer survivors so that they can enjoy a night at the ballpark with family and friends. The night will be capped off with a Chiefs tradition, as we light up the downtown sky with a spectacular post-game fireworks show. The Chiefs and Illinois CancerCare would love your support in honoring our local cancer survivors. Multiple supporting partnership opportunities are available, which will allow us to donate more tickets to the Illinois CancerCare Foundation, in turn allowing more area cancer survivors to enjoy the game. If you or your business would like to get involved by being a supporting partner and donating tickets to this great event, please contact Chiefs Vice President of Ticket Sales, Eric Obalil at 309-680-4019 or via email at erico@chiefsnet.com.
