Punchout Cancer with Cookie

Alongside my teammates and New Balance, I’m making a pledge this month to support all those who are battling cancer. In their honor, I’m launching Punchout Cancer with Cookie because I know what it is like to be faced with challenges that are so unexpected and I want to remind families that there is always hope. I’m pledging $200 for every strikeout I record in my return to the mound 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!
