St. Francis cancer survivors on deck for Aug. 23 baseball game

INDIANAPOLIS – More than 400 cancer survivors and guests will be on hand to root for the Indianapolis Indians as they meet the Columbus Clippers at Victory Field. And in doing so they also will be celebrating their personal victories over cancer with the help of the expert care and treatment they received at the St. Francis Cancer Center.

The Cancer Center invited these patients and their families to the 2 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 23 game, providing them with free tickets and “Tribe Tokens” to be used for food and merchandise. A cancer survivor will throw out the first pitch.

The guests will occupy specially designated sections in the upper and lower decks.

This is the second St. Francis Cancer Survivor’s Day Celebration held at Victory Field.
