ATLANTA -- Yankees catcher Brian McCann proudly continued to do his part to aid in the battle against childhood cancer as he hosted a fundraising gala and celebrity softball game this weekend in his hometown of Atlanta.
Extending their role as the Rally Foundation's primary spokespeople, McCann and his wife, Ashley, hosted a Benefit Bash at the Marriott Marquis on Friday night and a celebrity softball game at Georgia Tech's Russ Chandler Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The two events combined to raise more than $900,000 to be used to help fund childhood cancer research.
"The fight against childhood cancer is a battle," McCann said.
