DURHAM, N.C. – As the Duke baseball team prepares for the 2021 campaign, the Blue Devils are excited to announce the third year of the K's 4 Kids' Cancer campaign.
Â
Help the Duke baseball team strikeout children's cancer by making a pledge for every strikeout that Blue Devil pitchers rack up this season. All funds go directly to support cancer research and patient care at Duke Children's Hospital.
Â
"On behalf of our players and coaches I want to say with certainty that we are thrilled to partner with Duke Children's Hospital and the Duke Cancer Research Institute for a third straight year in the K's 4 Kid's Cancer initiative," Duke baseball head coach Chris Pollard said. "This Duke baseball program has been known nationally for our pitching staffs racking up impressive strikeout numbers. To think that with each strikeout we can be making a difference in the fight against pediatric cancer or supporting a child that is fighting cancer is truly humbling and inspiring. I want to invite our entire Duke Baseball Family to get behind this great cause."
Â
Go to the campaign website HEREÂ for more info and to choose the level of your pledge or make a one-time donation. During the shortened 2020 season the Duke pitching staff threw 183 strikeouts in just 16 games and stood 16th in the country in strikeouts per nine innings with 11.5.
Â
In 2019, Duke recorded a program-record 598 strikeouts to rank third in the ACC and 14th in the nation. The Blue Devils closed out the campaign ranking 18th in the country in strikeouts per nine innings with 9.7, while also placing third in the league in that category.
Â
The 2019 season served as the first year of the fundraiser in the K's 4 Kids Cancer campaign, as the Blue Devils raised a total of $17,824.75 with their record-breaking season. Â
