CUBS CHARITIES WILL PINK OUT THE BUDWESIER BLEACHERS WITH “SAVE 2ND BASE” T-SHIRTS FOR BREAST CANCER AWARENESS
Cubs Charities is once again teaming up with Advocate Health Care to PINK OUT the outfield on Tuesday, May 6th for the 7:05 p.m. game at Wrigley Field against the White Sox. Each fan sitting in the Budweiser Bleachers will receive a pink “Save 2nd Base” tee shirt to promote breast cancer awareness and celebrate the moms and women who have survived. Team wives will be passing out shirts at the bleacher gate entrance.
Fans throughout the ballpark are encouraged to participate by wearing something pink for the game. The Cubs Store, located at the corner of Clark and Addison Streets, will display a special PINK OUT section with Cubs merchandise. Proceeds from the evening’s 50/50 Raffle will benefit mammograms for under/uninsured women through Advocate Charitable Foundation.
