CINCINNATI -- The Cincinnati Reds joined the other 29 clubs in Major League Baseball to help raise awareness for childhood cancer on Sunday.

Representatives from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, CancerFree Kids and the Dragonfly Foundation participated in pregame ceremonies prior to the Mets-Reds game at Great American Ball Park.

Six kids were invited to run the bases in recognition of being cancer-free or in remission. The Reds' players and coaches, including manager Terry Francona, lined the first-base line, and Mets players and coaches, including manager Carlos Mendoza, lined the third-base line and gave the kids high fives and fist bumps as they rounded the bases.

Levi Nause, an 11-year-old cancer survivor, tossed a ceremonial first pitch.
