Fan of Chicago baseball?
Willing to make a difference in the lives of children fighting cancer?

Then step up to the plate and join Chicago Cub Alfonso Soriano and other baseball greats at the Children’s Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation’s Grand Slam Gala. Help raise awareness and funds for Neuroblastoma, an aggressive form of childhood cancer – and also the most common in infants. The cause is unknown. Your support will fund research for more effective, less toxic treatments that will lead to higher survival rates.

“Unlike the significant progress that has been made in the treatment of many childhood cancers, only modest improvements in outcomes have occurred for children with high-risk neuroblastoma during the past 20 years. Improved rates of cure will only be possible if we continue to conduct research focused on developing more effective, biologically-rationale treatments.”
