Sox It To Leukemia Day

While the dog days of summer are still a while away, it doesn't mean you can't plan too early for our annual baseball outing with the White Sox! UFCW Local 1546 members and their family and friends are invited out to the ballpark to cheer on the Chicago White Sox and support a great cause—the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Our annual “Sox it to Leukemia” event will take place this year on Sunday, August 1 as the Chicago White Sox take on the Oakland Athletics. This game also features a "Kid's Day" theme as kids are allowed to run the bases on the field after the game. It should be a fun time for the whole family.

It didn’t need to take a multi-billion dollar government bailout of our nation’s banks and financial institutions this year for working families to realize that most U.S. consumers are spending more than we can afford.

In fact, in just the past several years, the average household’s credit card debt rose to a record $7,520 monthly balance, not including mortgage debt, student loans and automobile loans.
