The Salem-Keizer Volcanoes will hold their annual Cancer Awareness Weekend at Volcanoes Stadium on Friday, August 5 through Sunday, August 7. The purpose of the three-day event is to celebrate and recognize the bravery and strong will of cancer survivors and others affected by the disease.
During this event, the Volcanoes welcome the Spokane Indians to Volcanoes Stadium for a five-game series. The Volcanoes will be coming off the All-Star break and will be looking to take on the second half of the season.
