The Power of Partnership

At AbbVie, we partner with purpose. Together with organizations who share our commitment, we amplify awareness of important health challenges and support efforts that make a meaningful difference for patients and communities.

Chicago Cubs

With AbbVie’s global headquarters located in North Chicago, our partnership with the Chicago Cubs provides an opportunity to make a difference in the communities of our shared hometown. 

Since 2025, AbbVie and the Cubs have partnered to present Striking Out Cancer, a multi-year initiative. For every strikeout thrown by Cubs pitchers at Wrigley Field, AbbVie makes a donation to Cubs Charities to support not-for-profit organizations working to advance the fight against cancer. 


Major League Baseball

In 2026, AbbVie announced it is expanding Striking Out Cancer beyond our hometown team by becoming the Official Pharmaceutical Partner of Major League Baseball. 

AbbVie will make a donation to Stand Up To Cancer for every strikeout thrown by MLB pitchers in 2026. 

Every game. Every strikeout. All season long. 


Ballpark stadium and lights

Every strikeout is now more than a statistic on the scoreboard— it is a step forward in supporting those living with and fighting cancer. Together with Major League Baseball and the Chicago Cubs, we aim to create greater awareness for cancer advocacy and to make a remarkable impact for those living with cancer worldwide.
