Saturday's Vs. Cancer Senior Day: The William Peace University Baseball team has partnered with Vs. Cancer this season to bring awareness to pediatric cancer and raise funds to support the cause. The fundraiser is lasting throughout the season, but the team will celebrate their efforts on Saturday, April 21 during their game against Brevard College at the USA Baseball National Training Complex in Cary, NC.

In partnership with Vs. Cancer the Pacers have selected the pediatric oncology unit at UNC Lineberger to receive half of the funds they raise, while the other half will be used to fund ground-breaking brain tumor research efforts through the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. The Peace Pacers have already raised over $1,700 thanks to the generous support of their family and friends.

Robin Boettcher, Chief Executive officer of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, understands how vital these athletes are to our mission. "We applaud the efforts and generous spirit of the William Peace University Baseball team! They are helping us provide life-changing support for local children fighting cancer and fund ground-breaking research into a cure. With the support of this incredible team, we're fighting for futures for these kids."
 
Vs. Cancer was founded in 2012 by Chase Jones, a former collegiate baseball player at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Jones was diagnosed with a brain tumor as a freshman at U.N.C. The support of his teammates during treatment was his largest source of strength during recovery. Vs. Cancer now works with athletic teams across the country who have joined the fight against childhood cancer. With the help of athletes, teams, and communities nationwide, Vs. Cancer has raised over $4.2 million dollars since their inception and is now a signature fundraising campaign for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation.
