KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) – Friday, Covenant Health Park will be filled with games and fun as people take to the new stadium downtown to raise money for a good cause.
Game on Against Cancer raises money for Covenant Health’s Thompson Cancer Survival Center.
Proceeds from the event go towards paying for costs associated with cancer treatments, or other bills that go left unattended with a cancer diagnosis.
“It benefits most with transportation, a lot of folks other people in their family have to work so they have no way to get to treatment they are maybe down in income possibly two it helps afford gas, help afford to pay their utilities, a lot of times people are having to choose ‘do I go to cancer treatment or pay this utility bill to keep my lights on,’ this gives them the opportunity not to choose and to take care of their health,” said Erin Wakefield, who joined WVLT News This Morning Thursday.
Game on Against Cancer is Friday June, 20 at Covenant Health Park, games are played against local celebrities including multiple journalists here at WVLT News.
Tickets are available online and at the door.
