I’m making a pledge to support my teammate and all others who are battling cancer. In support of my teammate Cookie Carrasco’s own battle with cancer, I’m pledging $100 for every home run I hit in September to help fund childhood cancer research, and I’m inviting you to take the pledge with me.

In honor of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and all that have been touched by cancer, New Balance and players across professional baseball are dedicated to action and raising money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Together, we will hit, pitch and steal our way to a cure. We dedicate this campaign to Cookie Carrasco and his courageous and inspirational fight with Leukemia. In September 2019, New Balance will match its athletes’ donations, and any consumer donations made on PunchoutCancerWithCookie.com, to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®, up to $200,000.

You can follow our performance & progress all month long by visiting the program homepage.

Thank you for your support!
