Buster Posey wraps up another season of raising money, awareness to end pediatric cancer

SAN FRANCISCO–Few players in franchise history have brought as much joy to the hearts of Giants fans as Buster Posey.

While an August hip surgery robbed fans of the opportunity to watch Posey play during the final month of the 2018 season, it hasn’t prevented every Giants devotee from connecting with the catcher.

Though Posey can’t swing the bat or squat behind the plate yet, he and his wife Kristen have wrapped up another season as leaders in the fight against pediatric cancer. The Posey family has worked closely with the San Francisco Giants, UCSF and the V Foundation since the spring of 2016 to raise money to bring an end to pediatric cancer and their efforts continued Saturday as they hosted Citrus Heighs resident Dawn Oliphant at AT&T Park.
