Episode Details

On a single night each September, Major League Baseball holds Childhood Cancer Awareness Night at games nationwide. This major initiative focuses on both educating the public about childhood cancer and providing respite for cancer patients, survivors, and their families. 

Join us as we visit Citizens Bank Park - home of the Philadelphia Phillies - for the 2024 edition of Childhood Cancer Awareness Night and hear about one family's ongoing battle against childhood cancer. We'll also talk with a representative of the Phillies organization about the history and purpose of this effort and the partnership forged between the Phillies and Nemours Children's Health, the official children's health provider of the Phillies. 

GUESTS:
Michele DeVicaris, Phillies Director for Community and Charity Events
Eric Newton, parent of cancer patient Eric "EJ" Newton
