CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The UNC field hockey team will host its annual Vs. Cancer game on Saturday, raising funds in partnership with the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation. All proceeds fund national brain tumor research efforts through the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation and UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.
The top-ranked Tar Heels host No. 16 Wake Forest for a 1 p.m. Atlantic Coast Conference game. Admission to Karen Shelton Stadium is free and the first 750 fans will receive white-out t-shirts. The first 150 fans will also receive yellow wristbands to match the ones the UNC players will wear in support of Vs. Cancer.
Vs. Cancer, in partnership with the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, funds local childhood cancer programs and national research in a quest for life-saving cures for childhood cancers. For more information, visit Vs-cancer.org.

Since 2012, Vs. Cancer has impacted over 40,000 children with cancer per year and the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation serves more than 28,000.
The Vs. Cancer Story began in Chapel Hill when a Carolina freshman baseball player was diagnosed with Stage-4 brain cancer. After months of surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation, Chase Jones and his teammates wanted to do something to help other kids like Chase who had to endure such suffering, and to do something to cure kids' cancer. Chase's teammates decided to shave their heads to raise funds for life-saving research and for programs to help children in their local cancer hospital.
Since that time, Vs. Cancer has partnered with dozens of teams to support the children and families impacted by childhood cancer today and to fund research to help make childhood cancer a thing of the past.
