DAYTON, Ohio – The University of Dayton baseball program has teamed up with the Vs. Cancer Foundation to help raise money for the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and local pediatric cancer programs, to help give these children a healthier and happier future.

Donations will be accepted from now until April 22, when the Flyers host St. Bonaventure at 12 p.m. on Sunday for the team's "Vs. Cancer Game," as the Flyers show support for the children battling the disease.

Dayton is one of at least 35 collegiate baseball teams participating in the Vs. Cancer Foundation's fundraising efforts and 14 programs have raised over $5,000, including four that have already raised over $10,000 (Texas A&M, Holy Cross, Xavier and Lincoln Memorial).

About VS. Cancer and Organization History
"Vs. Cancer is a non-profit organization that is dedicated to funding live-saving childhood cancer efforts to help children with cancer live healthier, happier lives. Founder Chase Jones experienced childhood cancer first-hand as an eighteen-year-old college freshman, when he was diagnosed with a Stage IV brain tumor. As a baseball player at the University of North Carolina, his team rallied around him during treatment and began raising funds to support their local hospital. Jones has been cancer free for 10 years and attests his status to a byproduct of national research and community help."
