Okay so…you’d probably never guess this by looking at me or listening to me talk about all of the girly things I like, but I love football. Like, serious love affair. College football and NFL football—doesn’t matter; if it’s September-February, you can bet I’ll be spend most of my weekends at home, a sports bar or checking ESPN on my Blackberry 24/7.
I’m also a huge supporter of cancer awareness, and since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month (and I’m a woman) it’s pretty big deal to me, obvi.
Stay with me—this is where it all comes together! For the past few years, the NFL has been supporting this initiative in a big way with both league-wide and individual team efforts in a campaign called “The Crucial Catch.” The outreach ranges from all NFL players wearing touches of pink in their uniforms (shoes, gloves, etc) to a portion of all NFL merchandise proceeds being donated to the American Cancer Society.
Love football or hate football, you’ve got to agree that this is an amazing initiative—especially since football is a totally male-dominated sport and the amount of support being shown to BCA is extraordinary. Click here for more info!
