Cover Your Bases with Freddie Freeman and the Braves
Proceeds benefit American Cancer Society
My Atlanta Braves teammates and I have teamed up with the American Cancer Society for the Cover Your Bases program. Cover Your Bases impacts local communities and helps save lives by educating fans about key cancer prevention tips around eating healthy, staying active, sun safety, and cancer screenings. This is something that is extremely important to me personally. My mother Rosemary died of melanoma when I was just 10 years old, having an indelible impact on my life. For her, and for families and individuals across Braves country, I’m proud to join this campaign to help save lives.
Many of the millions of skin cancer cases diagnosed annually could be prevented by protecting skin from excessive sun exposure. Our goal is to educate as many Braves fans as possible about the importance of sun safety, including having 10 sunscreen stations throughout SunTrust Park.
With Cover Your Bases we will assist the Society in achieving its mission of saving lives, celebrating lives, and leading the fight for a world without cancer. This is your chance to join us!
