Stand up to Cancer Night at Fifth Third Field

Toledo Mud Hens News Release
Join the Mud Hens and Fifth Third Bank as we take a stand against cancer during Stand Up To Cancer Night at Fifth Third Field on Sunday, August 28. The event aims to raise awareness, as well as funds for, Stand Up To Cancer's accelerated cancer research programs, while shining a spotlight on those fighting the disease.
"I Stand Up For" placards will be handed out before the game. Fans can personalize their placards as a way of supporting a family member or friend fighting cancer, honoring survivors, or remembering those they've lost. During a break in the game action, we'll share the placard messages on our giant video boards. Fans are encouraged to take photos at the ballpark that night and post them to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Vine using the hashtag #howifight.
For each strikeout a Mud Hens pitcher registers during the game, Fifth Third will donate $530 to Stand Up To Cancer, an initiative dedicated to raising funds to accelerate the pace of research to get new therapies to patients quickly to save lives now.
