On Tuesday, the Santa Barbara Foresters will celebrate Brandon School Day for Wyatt Taylor and donate all proceeds from ticket and concession sales to help his family with increasing medical bills.
Taylor, a fourth-grader at Brandon School, was diagnosed with Burkitt’s lymphoma on March 9.
Since then, he has been in and out of the hospital while fighting the fast-growing, yet treatable cancer. Taylor, a Foresters fan and Little League player, was adopted by the Foresters through the Hugs for Cubs program.
The game will start at 5 p.m. at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium on the UCSB campus. Admission is $5.
— Valerie Kushnerov is a Brandon School parent.
