ESPN college basketball analyst Dick Vitale and The V Foundation teamed up with San Francisco Giants’ catcher Buster Posey this past week to raise awareness for pediatric cancer. The pair, along with Dick’s wife Lorraine and Buster’s wife Kristen, visited the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital and then hosted an event, which raised over $500,000, at AT&T Park to benefit The V Foundation’s commitment to cancer research.
