Chicago Cubs fans are invited to participate in Chicago Cubs Charities “Pink Out”
presented by Advocate Health Care on Wednesday, May 8th for the 1:20pm game against the St. Louis Cardinals. Each fan who buys a ticket to sit in the Budweiser Bleachers, will receive a Chicago Cubs Charities “Pink Out” hat to help promote and support breast cancer awareness. The wives of Cubs coaches and players will be handing them out at the entrance gates.
Fans throughout the ballpark are encouraged to wear pink that day. The Cubs Store, located across Wrigley Field at the corner of Clark and Addison Streets, will display a “Pink Out” section with pink Cubs merchandise for fans interested in
participating.
All fans in attendance on May 8th are encouraged to participate in the

temporary pink ribbon on the outfield wall, pink hats worn by the grounds crew
