Cancer Survivors Night 2025

Sunday, June 1 – Mayo Field  (403 E. Center Street, Rochester)

Annually National Cancer Survivors Day is celebrated on the first Sunday of June to celebrate those who have triumphed over cancer and to inspire hope for those currently facing it. To honor cancer survivors and their loved ones, The Rochester Honkers are proud to partner once again with the Mayo Clinic Comprehensive Cancer Center to “Celebrate Life” for Cancer Survivors Day Sunday, June 1 at Mayo Field! All survivors of any form of cancer are invited and encouraged to attend. Each survivor and one guest will receive a free reserved grandstand ticket and a $10 voucher for Honkers concessions. The vouchers can be used at any concession stand for any item
but must be used all at once (If there is a difference above $10, it must be paid for).  Additional guests of the survivor can obtain a reserved grandstand ticket and a $10 voucher for Honkers concessions for just $10 per package. To purchase the additional tickets, simply indicate the number of tickets you desire in the form below and a Honkers ticket representative will contact you directly. There are a limited number of
reserved seats available so be sure to register by 5/20/2025.

Each survivor will receive a souvenir baseball and be introduced on the pitching mound at Mayo Field.  Each survivor is invited to throw out a Ceremonial First Pitch to officially kick off our Cancer Survivors Day event.
