“We are thrilled to be part of this initiative for the Cancer Patient Help Fund, which provides cancer patients with help and hope in a time of need,” said Dr. Nikhilesh Korgaonkar, Vice President and Chief Medical Officer of Oncology Services for WellSpan Health. “It’s very gratifying to see these fantastic athletes playing for this fantastic cause.” 

The WellSpan Cancer Patient Help Fund provides essential support for individuals in their cancer care journey. The fund can be a financial lifeline for those struggling with expenses when cancer patients’ lives are disrupted by treatment. The fund can support rent and car insurance during recovery, in addition to other monthly expenses, so patients can concentrate on their recovery. In 2025, the fund helped more than 200 cancer patients in the area. 

“We’re excited to see this event continue to grow,” said Ben Shipley, President & General Manager of the York Revolution, the organizers and host of the event. “Anytime we can get local high school athletes on our professional field, it’s exciting. It’s even more exciting to do it with WellSpan, our premiere partner, and for a great cause like cancer patients and their families.”
