East Boston has hosted the Strike Out Colon Cancer Tournament since 2009 after Carrie Brangiforte, wife of East Boston Headmaster Phil Brangiforte, battled cancer after the birth of the couple’s daughter Alexandria. Grateful for the expert care that Carrie received at Boston Medical Center, the couple established the baseball tournament to raise awareness and donations in the battle against colon cancer.
