SAN MARCOS, CA – Palomar College Baseball has joined forces with the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation's Vs. Cancer program to defeat childhood brain cancer, the deadliest disease affecting children in the United States. 

Started by a pediatric brain cancer survivor and former collegiate athlete, Vs. Cancer makes it easy for any sports team, any athlete, and any community to help kids with cancer. As a signature fundraising program of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, Vs. Cancer proceeds fund family support and child life programs in teams' communities, along with lifesaving pediatric brain cancer research. 

Thanks to the generous support of friends, family and fans, the team is on its way to meeting their fundraising goal. You can contribute by making a donation here: https://team.curethekids.org/team/630283 

Dave Mays, the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation's Director of Vs. Cancer, understands how vital these athletes are to the nonprofit's mission. "Vs. Cancer athletes are changing the game for kids and families across the country," he says. "Brain tumors are the deadliest and most commonly diagnosed childhood cancer, but each Vs. Cancer game gets us one step closer to a cure. Together we are creating a brighter, better future – a future without childhood brain cancer." 

About the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation 

Since 1991, the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation has led the way in funding research into pediatric brain tumors, supporting families affected by this disease, and advocating for policies that help patients, survivors, and their loved ones. Dedicated wholly to addressing this rare disease and guided by the experiences of patients, survivors, their parents, and siblings, the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation is the only organization to meet families' needs along every step of their cancer journey. 

The largest patient advocacy funder of pediatric brain tumor research, the foundation also funds and advocates for innovative projects that lead to vital discoveries, new clinical trials, and better treatments – all bringing us closer to a cure. We're able to do that because of people and partners committed to supporting families and ending childhood brain cancer. Learn more at curethekids.org.
