• Gianna Mascaro was among a group of 20 East Stroudsburg University sport management majors who helped coordinate Stand Up To Cancer’s annual in-game tribute to those affected by cancer during the Major League Baseball All-Star Game at Citizens Bank Park. The tribute saw the entire ballpark come to a stop for two minutes of silence as fans, players and all those in attendance held up placards with the name of someone they know who is affected by cancer written on them. The campaign is a major fundraiser toward Stand Up To Cancer’s efforts to raise funds for cancer research. The students’ job was to help deliver the blank placards to seats throughout the ballpark before the gates opened. The group also participated in another marketing effort the day before at the Home Run Derby. There, the group helped distribute light-up bracelets for an interactive light show that was held during the event, which was broadcast on Netflix.
