Children’s Hospital of Michigan Foundation and the Detroit Tigers Partner to Fight Childhood Cancer on September 9

DETROIT–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Children’s Hospital of Michigan Foundation (CHMF) is teaming up with the
Detroit Tigers to fight childhood cancer on September 9, 2016 at 7:00
p.m. at Comerica Park when the Tigers play the Baltimore Orioles. The
special game is an opportunity for those touched by childhood cancer to
purchase a ticket, create awareness, get a special T-shirt and help fund
pediatric cancer research.

The Tigers will donate a portion of tickets purchased at tigers.com/children
to Children’s Hospital of Michigan Foundation for pediatric cancer
research.

Cancer remains the leading medical cause of death for children. Each
year, 15,780 children are diagnosed with cancer. Children’s Hospital of
Michigan Foundation is funding important research at Children’s Hospital
of Michigan and Wayne State University to find a cure.

According to Jeffrey Taub, M.D., Division Chief of Oncology at
Children’s Hospital of Michigan, “Donations for childhood cancer
research are critical. The amount of federal funds devoted to childhood
cancer is very small compared to adult research.”

In 1975, more than 40 percent of children with the most common type of
cancer, acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) did not survive. Due to
research, the five year survival rate is now 90
