BREVARD COUNTY • VIERA, FLORIDA – The Cancer Care Centers of Brevard and Cancer Care Centers Foundation presented “Strike Out Cancer Night” at Space Coast Stadium on Friday night as the Manatees took on the Daytona Tortugas.
In its continued efforts to provide financial support and educational resources to local patients, Cancer Care Centers of Brevard and Cancer Care Centers Foundation once again teamed up with the Brevard County Manatees to host Cancer Care Centers Night at Space Coast Stadium.
“It’s a fantastic way to get the community out here to raise cancer awareness and Cancer Care treatments available here in the county,” said Dr. Ashish Udeshi.
“It also is a great opportunity to spend time with family and friends, and meet new people.”
The Brevard County Manatees wore“Cancer Survivor” theme jerseys during the game. The front featured a lavender ribbon — the color used to denote all types of cancer — while ribbons representing more than 15 types of cancer were included on the back.
All 35 Manatees game jerseys are available for purchase online at the official minor league baseball site manatees.milbauctions.com/gallery.cfm
“Cancer Care Centers of Brevard’s mission is to promote the importance of early cancer detection, which gives the patient a better outcome in their fight against this dreaded disease,” said Cancer Care Centers’ Marta Fiol.
“Our tagline reads ‘At Cancer Care Centers, every month is cancer awareness month.’”
