The real MLB all-stars
Nearly 10,000 people joined Major League Baseball (MLB) legends, mascots and celebrities for the All-Star Game Charity 5K & Fun Run on July 11. The event took place before the MLB All-Star Game at Angel Stadium of Anaheim in Anaheim, Calif., and participants raised $200,000 for four cancer charities, including City of Hope.

At the City of Hope booth, dozens of people registered with the Be The Match registry, and many more signed up for City of Hope’s Walk for Hope Nationally Presented by Staples in Duarte, Calif., on Nov. 7.
