Whether it be screening tools to assist with an earlier diagnosis, innovative treatment options for those currently facing cancer or a support system for the entire family, the Arizona Diamondbacks Foundation is committed to funding organizations through the D-backs Race Against Cancer that are making a real difference for Arizona's cancer warriors. We are challenging you, Diamondbacks fans, to help us make a positive change in the lives of those impacted by cancer. Whether you can join us on September 29 or not, set a personal fundraising goal in honor or memory of someone who has faced or is currently facing cancer or just because you believe in the cause.
