The Springfield Cardinals will honor hundreds of cancer survivors in a pre-game ceremony at Hammons Field on Wednesday, June 14. This special group is part of the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life, a nationwide community-based event aimed at raising money to help prevent cancer and save lives.

Approximately 700 Relay For Life members and volunteers will be on hand June 14 in an effort to raise the funds needed to help find a cure for cancer. Prior to the Cardinals game, hundreds of cancer survivors will take a victory lap around the warning track of Hammons Field to signify the progress that has been made in improving cancer survival rates and the quality of life following cancer treatment.
