The annual Downbeach Coaches vs. Cancer event to support the American Cancer Society is taking place starting Thursday and ending on Sunday at Jerome Avenue  Park in Margate.

Taking a Swing at Cancer: The Event’s Mission

The event's goal is to raise funds, honor lives, and take a swing at cancer.  Each game has a first-pitch from someone whose lives shave been impacted by cancer.

So far, over $20,000 has been raised for the American Cancer Society.

The event, now in its 14th year, started in Millville, moved to Mainland Regional, and has now found a home in Margate.

How to Watch: In-Person and Digital Options

You can watch games live at the Jerome Avenue park fields, 9001 Winchester in Margate, or via the Game Change App (search Downbeach Coaches vs Cancer Invitational 2026) from BFA Sports.
