Pittsburgh Pirates Cancer Support Game

On Friday, September 5, 2025, over 120 of our young warrior friends and their families joined us at PNC Park for this year's Pittsburgh Pirates Cancer Support Game. Every year, this is such a special and memorable experience for Lending Hearts.

Again this year, 10 of our cancer survivors were invited on the field before the start of the game for Kids Take the Field. Each one takes a different position on the field, including manager, and are then relieved of their positions by the respective Pirates players.

Our friend, Adam, was given the great opportunity to throw out the ceremonial opening pitch. What made this even more profound for Adam was just the night before, he and his family learned he is cancer free! To read more about Adam's story, click HERE.

It was incredible to hear all the ball park cheer for Adam and all our Lending Hearts Friends.

We are forever grateful to the Pittsburgh Pirates and Pirates Charities for providing Lending Hearts with these very special opportunities.
