NECS Partners with Sea Dogs on June 7 Cancer Survivors Celebration – Gifts 1,000 Free Tickets.

For Immediate Release.

New England Cancer Specialists (NECS) is partnering with the Portland Sea Dogs to celebrate cancer survivors and those currently fighting cancer during a special Survivors Day game on June 7.

As part of the celebration, NECS is providing 1,000 free tickets to individuals and families impacted by cancer. In addition to the free ticket, additional tickets can be purchased at a special group rate with a portion of the proceeds going to support the New England Oncology Foundation.

The event is designed to bring survivors, caregivers, families, and supporters together for a fun and meaningful evening at the ballpark while recognizing the strength, resilience, and courage of those affected by cancer.

“At NECS, survivorship means more than moving past treatment,” said Seth Blanchard, Director of Marketing & Communications for NECS. “It means celebrating milestones, supporting families, and creating moments of joy and connection for people who may still be walking through incredibly difficult experiences.”

The game will include special recognition of survivors, and opportunities for the community to come together in support of cancer awareness and survivorship.

“The Portland Sea Dogs are honored to partner with New England Cancer Specialists for Cancer Survivors Day at Delta Dental Park at Hadlock Field. Through initiatives like our Strike Out Cancer in Kids program and the Mother’s Day 5K, the Sea Dogs are proud to support cancer awareness and raise funds that benefit local families throughout Maine and New Hampshire.” said Jesse Scaglion, Sea Dogs General Manager.” Cancer Survivors Day provides a special opportunity to recognize the incredible strength and resilience of survivors while also honoring the families, caregivers, and healthcare professionals who support them every day. We look forward to creating a meaningful and memorable day at the ballpark for our community.”

Tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis and are intended for individuals and families whose lives have been impacted by cancer.
