The University of Minnesota baseball program and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society are teaming together for its annual Strike Out Cancer Day on Sunday, May 8. The Gophers host Indiana for a noon start at Siebert Field.
At Sunday's game, student-athletes will be stationed near the gates collecting donations toward cancer research. Information and donations can also be made once inside the facility on the concourse. Supporters can also purchase “Strike Out Cancer” wristbands at the LLS table.
Oakes was initially diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia in June 2012. After intensive treatment, Oakes was in remission for over two years before receiving news in November 2014 that the cancer had returned. Now in his third battle with cancer, he has continued his support towards the LLS Minnesota Chapter as an executive board member. Oakes continues to dedicate time to help other patients.
