CINCINNATI — Cincinnati police are looking for two men accused of posing as fundraisers for a cancer research organization outside Bengals games.
CPD said the two men fraudulently collected donations from Bengals fans during at least two home games this season outside Paycor Stadium.
They told people they were with the organization, "Stand Up To Cancer."
Stand Up To Cancer is a legitimate cancer research fundraising organization. Their goal is to "enable scientific breakthroughs by funding collaborative, multidisciplinary, multi-institutional scientific cancer research teams and investigators," according to a message on the organization's website.
According to Cincinnati police, these two men have no affiliation with the organization.
