The Chicago Cubs are teaming up with Audacy, Stand Up To Cancer® (SU2C) and American Airlines to host “Cubs for a Cure,” a multiday fundraising effort dedicated to raising funds for cancer research. The effort will culminate with the Cubs game Saturday, August 17, against the Toronto Blue Jays.
Prior to the event at the ballpark, 670 The Score will host a 24-hour radiothon from 10 a.m. CT Thursday, August 15, through 10 a.m. CT Friday, August 16, where listeners can donate to the cause with 100% of the proceeds benefiting cancer research. Cubs players and other VIP guests will take part in the radiothon. On August 17, fans can enjoy activities at Gallagher Way with various opportunities to donate before heading into the ballpark. A Stand Up To Cancer Placard Moment™ will take place during the game where all guests can hold up a placard in recognition of those affected by cancer. Cubs Charities will host a special 50/50 Raffle $50,000 guaranteed jackpot when the Cubs take on the Blue Jays August 16-18. One lucky winner will be selected at the end of Sunday’s game and will receive half of the jackpot total with the other half of the proceeds benefiting cancer research and Cubs Charities. In addition, Cubs Authentics auctions will host an online auction August 11-17 where fans can bid on game-used gear. All proceeds from the online auction will be donated to cancer nonprofits. More information on the online auction, as well as additional ways to support the cause online, will be provided closer to the event date.
