Bring you glove for some baseball on the field at PNC Park.

The annual Catch for Cancer event is from 8:30 a.m. to noon on June 1. The Pittsburgh Pirates and Allegheny Health Network will host a baseball skills workshop with the opportunity to meet Pirates pitcher Jameson Taillon and first baseman Josh Bell.

There will be five stations – playing catch, catching pop-ups, fielding ground balls, throwing(complete with radar velocity) and batting practice.

The first 200 people to donate $100 will also receive two tickets to watch the Pirates take on the Milwaukee Brewers at 4:05 p.m. that day.

There will be a question and answer session in the PNC Park stands with some Pittsburgh Pirates, including Taillon and Bell at 11:30 a.m.

Proceeds benefit patient care at AHN Cancer Institute.
