Cubs To Collect Funds For Tornado Victims At Tuesday's Game

(CBS) The Cubs will collect monetary donations at the gates of Wrigley Field before the start of Tuesday's game against the Reds to help those affected by the tornadoes that devastated Fairdale and Rochelle last week.

Funds raised Tuesday evening will benefit the Illinois Tornado Relief Effort, a campaign of the McCormick Foundation to support nonprofit agencies providing disaster relief and recovery efforts to those communities hit hardest by the tornadoes. Proceeds from the night's Cubs Charities 50/50 Raffle also will benefit the cause.

Fans who won't be attending Tuesday but who would like to make a donation to the tornado disaster relief effort can give through Sunday by visiting Cubs.com/give.
