The National Football League has publicly joined the battle against breast cancer! To show their support for Breast Cancer Awareness Month during October, all players, coaches, and staff will be wearing a variety of pink articles, ranging from traditional football gear to bandanas and t-shirts.
This operation, called “A Crucial Catch: Annual Screening Saves Lives” concentrates on alerting women of the importance of annual mammography tests. At the end of the month, the items worn by the players will be auctioned off, and the money will be donated to various cancer research organizations.
This is one of many creative ways in which institutes such as The American Cancer Society and the Women’s Cancer Research Fund, with co-founder Jamie Tisch, promote breast cancer awareness.
