(ATLANTA) August 18 -- Kidney Cancer Association Stay In The Game™ volunteers attended the Atlanta Braves baseball game to raise awareness for kidney cancer. The event proved to be a great success!  Members of the campaign conducted seven interviews with local radio and TV publications throughout the day and hosted a successful pre-game ceremony to kick-off the game.  

Volunteers from the KCA also passed out kidney cancer awareness materials prior to the game as fans entered the ballpark.  As part of the pre-game ceremony, Stay In The Game™ presented the KCA with a check for $5000 in support of kidney cancer research and education.  

Stay In The Game™ is an awareness program that empowers people affected by kidney cancer to seek support, resources and information that can help them build and stay with a treatment plan. Major League Baseball Hall-of-Fame pitcher and kidney cancer survivor, Don Sutton, is the national spokesperson for the Stay In The Game™ program and will work to inspire and provide hope to other patients across the country.
