The Baltimore Orioles have teamed up with Maryland Governor Larry Hogan to help fight cancer.
As part of that effort, Hogan and the Orioles launched a new partnership, in conjunction with Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, to raise funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and Ronald McDonald House Charities in the battle against pediatric cancer.
This partnership hits close to home for Hogan. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy treatment to fight non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which was diagnosed in June. Hogan lauded Orioles owner Peter Angelos for supporting the initiative.
"I really want to sincerely thank Mr. Angelos and the Orioles organization for reaching out to us and doing this tonight," Hogan said.
