Pippins and You Help Fight Cancer Monday Night

You can have fun and help fight cancer on Monday by attending a Yakima Pippins baseball game. Yakima Valley Memorial Hospital officials released details in a recent news release:
"Memorial is sponsoring the first Tough Enough to Wear Pink night at the Yakima Pippins game on Monday (June 15) in support of cancer programs in the Yakima community. A percentage of the proceeds from the game will go to Wellness House, which offers free support, resources, education and services to cancer patients and their families.

"Brandie Valadez, a 31-year-old Zillah graduate, fourth-grade teacher and girls’ varsity basketball coach, will throw out the first pitch. Valadez, a married mother of a 5-year-old daughter, was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer and is undergoing treatment at North Star Lodge.

"Memorial also will be giving away bike helmets to the first 100 children, and there will be fun activities on the field. Game time is 7:05 p.m."
