(670 The Score) The Cubs for a Cure fundraiser will return from July 31 to Aug. 2 as the Cubs, Audacy, Stand Up To Cancer, AbbVie and American Airlines partner to raise funds in the fight against cancer.
Like in 2024, Cubs for a Cure will kick off with a 24-hour radiothon hosted by Danny Parkins on 670 The Score. It will continue with fundraising efforts and pregame festivities in the Cubs’ game at Wrigley Field on Aug. 2.
Starting now, fans can donate at ww.cubsforacure.com.
“We’re thrilled to bring back Cubs for a Cure for a second year in a row,” Cubs executive vice president of marketing and communications Jen Martindale said. “Last season, we raised $1 million for cancer research. This season, we hope to raise even more and support those in the fight against cancer. Every dollar counts so join us at Wrigley Field on August 2 as we help fight this devastating disease.”
Starting at 10 a.m. on July 31 and continuing until 10 a.m. on Aug. 1, 670 The Score will host a 24-hour radiothon, during which listeners can call in and donate. Proceeds from the radiothon will benefit BrainUp, a nonprofit that raises awareness for brain cancer. During the radiothon, Cubs players and other VIP guests will participate, offering their stories and personal experiences with the terrible disease.
“We are so proud to start year two of the Cubs for a Cure radiothon on The Score,” 670 The Score vice president Mitch Rosen. “We are thrilled that Danny Parkins is returning and our Score team is motivated more than ever to raise as much money as possible for brain cancer research. The Cubs, BrainUp, Stand Up To Cancer and The Score teamed together will be a home run to raise awareness and as much money as possible for cancer research!”
