The World Series and Stand Up 2 Cancer


From our friends at Stand Up 2 Cancer:


If you've been watching the exciting MLB postseason games on FOX and TBS, then you already know that Major League Baseball and MasterCard Worldwide stepped up to the plate to support groundbreaking cancer research by offering $1,000 to SU2C for every home run hit. So far, we are up to $46,000! Now for Game Three of the World Series, they are stepping it up another notch by offering SU2C the chance to collect one million dollars.


Yes, you read that right: during Game Three of the World Series, the first home run ball to directly strike a "Hit It Here" sign positioned in the outfield will result in MasterCard donating one million dollars to SU2C!


Tune into Game Three on October 31st (7:30 p.m. ET on FOX) to root for home runs from your favorite MLB players...and get ready to stand up to cancer during a very special SU2C "priceless" moment from MasterCard.


Check back here throughout the World Series for the latest tally of how many home runs have been hit - and how many dollars have been donated by MasterCard to SU2C. Batter up!
