PHOENIX -- Anthony Rizzo remembers wanting to buy certain cereals because of who was featured on the outside of the box. Now, the Cubs first baseman has his own box of cereal.

Cubs fans now can buy boxes of "Rizzos" at Jewel Osco stores in the Chicago area. Proceeds from the sale will go to the Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation, which has raised more than $1 million for cancer research and to provide support to children and their families battling the disease.

"I was like, 'Yeah, heck, yeah, I want to be on a cereal box' -- it's awesome," Rizzo said Thursday.
