Stratford Baseball Teams Up With FANS For The CURE Foundation

STRATFORD, CT — The Stratford High School baseball team will team up with broadcaster and sports radio personality Ed Randall’s FANS For The CURE foundation for the rest of the 2022 season, according to coach Mick Buckmir.

Randall, a prostate cancer survivor and awareness advocate, can be heard Sirius XM’s MLB Radio (Channel 89) with his Saturday morning “Remember When” show at 8 a.m. His FANS For The CURE is a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to positively influencing the lives of men by organizing medical, educational, and awareness programs focused on prostate cancer.

Two years ago in the 2019 season, Stratford hosted a successful “Light Blue” charity/fundraising game for FANS For The Cure against Notre Dame-Fairfield in which both teams played wearing special light blue sleeves underneath their uniforms.

For the 2022 season, Stratford has decided to take it a step further by wearing light blue pre-game jerseys throughout the season. They also plan to wear those same light blue jerseys as actual game jerseys during the second edition of the “Light Blue” game for FANS For The CURE on Saturday, May 7 when they take on Notre Dame-Fairfield at 10:30 a.m.

“Once again, ND-Fairfield is happy to participate in the event and will play wearing special light blue sleeves,” according to a news release. “Ed Randall has plans to attend the game not only to watch the action but also to raise awareness with those attending. A donation bucket will now be out during all remaining Stratford home games at Penders Field. In addition, there will be no admission charge to the May 7th ‘Light Blue’ game, but all fans and family members attending are urged to make a contribution to FANS For The CURE organization and the prostate awareness cause.”
