The World's Longest Baseball Game is One Week Away!

August 29 - September 2

Saiker's Acres

Presented By:

We’re getting ready for over 100 hours of baseball at Saiker’s Acres! We’re aiming to raise $300,000 for cancer research and set a Guinness World Record.


Save the date: August 29 – September 2! The opening ceremony starts at 11:30 a.m. with the first pitch being thrown at 11:50 a.m.

We’ve got something for everyone, including a silent auction that will be open 24/7 throughout the event. It’s going to be a fantastic time for the whole family, so don’t forget your sunscreen!

Bring your furry friends too, as long as they're on a leash. Plus, there will be a cash-only food truck available on-site.


“We encourage everyone to come out, watch the game, and support these dedicated players. By cheering them on, you’re also supporting a cause trying to improve the lives of those fighting cancer," says Brent Saik, Organizer of the World’s Longest Games.

Funds raised from this event will go toward an MR Sim at the Cross Cancer Institute. This state-of-the-art equipment will change the way we detect, diagnose, and treat cancer.

MR-Sim

The MR-Sim is a cutting-edge device that improves radiation therapy by
providing clear, high-resolution images of tumours, allowing for precise
targeting and less damage to healthy tissues. Less damage to healthy tissues means faster recovery times for patients and less chance of recurrence.

There are two ways to donate online:

Donate to the Game

Your donations will help fund the purchase and installation of an MR-Sim at the Cross Cancer Institute.

Donate to a Player

Help each player reach their fundraising goal in support of the purchase and installation of an MR-Sim.

Donate in person

Additionally you can donate on-site. The Donation/Silent Auction Tent and the Merchandise Sales will be open:

  • Thursday: 11:00 a.m.-11:00 p.m.
  • Friday/Saturday/Sunday: 9:00 a.m. -11:00 p.m.
  • Monday: 9:00 a.m. -7:00p.m.

There is also a donation box on site for after hours donations via cash or cheque.
