On November 15th, fans of the Yankees will have the chance to participate in a brand new, unique event at Yankee Stadium, for cancer research – the Runyon 5K. It’s a 5K run/walk, where participants will get to use the stadium as their course. The date is a Sunday, and registration is now open online at www.damonrunyon.org/yankeestadium.
The event includes a Kids Fun Run, incredible views of the Stadium from all angles, and a special victory lap on the warning track, where participants will get to see the Stadium from a player’s point of view.
100% of all donations raised will go to cutting-edge cancer research by today’s most brilliant and promising scientists, funded by the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation. You can see more on the charity itself at www.damonrunyon.org.

Yankees PR man worked overtime this year, and I love it. I’m really impressed with all the charity work the Yankees are doing, and not just donating money (not like that’s a bad thing).
