The Dodgers are taking on their down state rivals this weekendthe Anaheim Angels.

But, truth be told, theyre really taking on a much tougher opponent: Cancer.

This weekend marks the 3rd annual ThinkCure! event at Dodgers Stadium.

ThinkCure! is the Dodgers official charityand its stated aim is to help eradicate cancer.The program also celebrates cancer survivors and helps raise money for life-saving cancer research at such venues as Childrens Hospital Los Angeles and City of Hope.

CBS2s Health Watch reporter Lisa Sigell has been introducing us to some of those cancer survivors all week.

This weekend belongs to the survivors and their doctors and the thousands of Dodgers fans who will help raise money.

An on-line auction is tied to the eventgreat deals, Dodgers memorabilia and priceless experiences are just some of the things available.

An Andre Ethier jersey? Matt Kemps? Count us in!

To donate $10 to the cause, text CURE to 50555.

Last years weekend took in $400,000.
