Days Like This
Together, we raised $169,255 in 2026.
5th Annual Day of Giving
It's amazing what can happen when people come together.
The community came out to support our raffle, online auction, donations and to visit all 7 of our locations in full force.
The day culminated with a patient dinner hosting 50+ pancreatic cancer warriors, their caregivers and the medical rockstars from HonorHealth Research Institute. So many stories of hope, inspiration, and resilience were shared.
The medical innovations and treatments on the horizon are groundbreaking to make this disease a chronic one and not automatically a death sentence.
Thank you to the Seena Magowitz Foundation for your dedication of making this journey so many are on, a journey that no one needs to do alone.
To our Babbo team, thank you for your endless hard work and passion. You are absolutely the very BEST there is and Ken would be so very proud of all of you!
Someday a cure, but for now we fight on for Days Like This!! ⚾️💜💪🏼
Road to $1 Million
A Legacy of Community Impact
And counting
Honoring a Legacy of Love & Generosity
Babbo has hosted five annual "Baseball for Babbo Day of Giving" events, donating 100% of profits to the Seena Magowitz Foundation to fund pancreatic cancer research at HonorHealth Research Institute. These events serve as a loving tribute to Babbo's founder, Ken Pollack — a passionate baseball fan who lost his battle to pancreatic cancer in late 2022.
Babbo means "Daddy" in Italian and Ken was that leading figure to his staff and loved ones.
Babbo is also a proud sponsor of Steppin’ Up Against Pancreatic Cancer, the Seena Magowitz Foundation’s annual walk held each November at ASU’s Mountain America Stadium. The walk brings together survivors, families, and supporters from across Arizona to raise critical funds for pancreatic cancer research.
