The fight against cancer is a cause near and dear to the heart of Yankees general manager Brian Cashman. On Tuesday night, he joined long-time New York broadcaster Ed Randall at the SVA Auditorium in Manhattan for "Fans for the Cure: An Evening with Brian Cashman."
Randall, a prostate-cancer survivor, founded Fans for the Cure in 2003. The mission of the non-profit organization is to increase awareness of prostate cancer and the life-saving value of early detection while providing education and information to reduce risk, detect and treat prostate cancer.
All proceeds from the event help fund free PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood screenings and educational materials that will be offered by Fans for the Cure at over 170 Minor and Major League baseball games during the 2016 season.
