STATESBORO, Ga. – Following the Georgia Southern baseball game against UT Arlington on April 11 at 2 p.m., the team will participate in the Vs. Cancer head-shaving fundraiser to raise money for cancer charities.
The team will collect donations leading up to the event and all proceeds benefit childhood cancer research and children's hospitals.
The Vs. Cancer project began when a freshman baseball player at the University of North Carolina was diagnosed with Stage 4 brain cancer. After months of surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation, Chase Jones and his teammates wanted to do something to help other kids like Chase, who had to endure such suffering.
Chase's teammates decided to shave their heads to raise funds for life-saving research and for programs to help children in their local cancer hospital.
Since that time, Vs. Cancer has partnered with dozens of teams to support the children and families impacted by childhood cancer today and to fund research to help make childhood cancer a thing of the past.
