ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The UNC Asheville baseball team will hold its annual Vs. Cancer Game next Wednesday, March 29, at McCormick Field in downtown Asheville. The annual event will feature the Bulldogs taking on the Catamounts of Western Carolina at 5 p.m.
"I want to thank Coach Moranda and Western Carolina for participating in this event," said UNC Asheville head baseball coach Scott Friedholm. "It is an honor and humbling experience for our team to partner with such a great organization like VS. Cancer. To have the opportunity to directly affect and help young kids and teens in our area fighting cancer. It was an easy decision to be a part of this event on an annual basis."
Donations will be collected prior to the game and during Wednesday evening's event and sent to the Vs. Cancer Foundation to help battle childhood cancer. In the four years that UNC Asheville has been working with Vs. Cancer, the Bulldogs have raised nearly $24,000.
As part of the evening's events, members of the UNC Asheville baseball team and coaching staff will have their heads shaved following the game in support of the cause.

From Vs. Cancer:
Vs. Cancer operates on a 50/50 model of giving. Every gift to Vs. Cancer does two jobs: make life better for kids currently fighting cancer at local children's hospitals and fund research into life-saving treatments for pediatric brain tumors.
The foundation gives half of the proceeds to pediatric brain tumor research and the other half back to the local hospital in the community where that money was raised. For UNC Asheville, that is Mission Children's Hospital.
In the past four years, because of the efforts of UNC Asheville baseball, Vs. Cancer has been able to assist Mission with purchasing iPads and laptops for patients to use to keep up with homework during treatment as well as help with building a teen room to serve the older group of patients that are going through cancer treatment at an especially difficult age.
Vs. Cancer is a non-profit fundraising campaign of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. They are dedicated to saving kids' lives by empowering athletes and communities to fund lifesaving childhood cancer efforts. For more information on this worthwhile cause, visit www.vs-cancer.org.
