The NFL Goes Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness


Pink! It’s back. The NFL is “Going Pink” in support of October’s National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. In collaboration with the American Cancer Society, the initiative, called “A Crucial Catch: Annual Screening Saves Lives,” encourages women 40 and older about the importance of having an annual mammogram.

Starting today and continuing throughout the month, NFL Breast Cancer Awareness games will feature:

  • Game balls with pink ribbon decals used for every down
  • Players wearing pink cleats, wristbands, gloves, chin straps, sideline caps, helmet decals, eye shield decals, captains’ patches, sideline towels and quarterback towels
  • Pink coins used for the coin toss
  • Pink sideline caps for coaches and sideline personnel and pink ribbon pins for coaches and team executives
  • Officials wearing caps with pink ribbons, pink wristbands and pins and using pink whistles
  • On-field pink ribbon stencils and A Crucial Catch wall banners
  • Pink goal post padding in end zones
  • A Crucial Catch pink glow necklaces for all fans attending the Bears-Giants game on October 3

Before tonight’s Bears vs Giants Sunday Night Football Match-up, the Giants will invite over a hundred breast cancer survivors from the American Cancer Society and

Hackensack University Medical Center who will form a human ribbon on the field while Kelly Rowland performs the National Anthem. You don’t want to miss it.

Visit www.NFL.com/pink to learn more about the campaign and NFL Auction to bid on game-worn pink merchandise and post-game autographed footballs. All NFL Auction proceeds during the month of October will benefit the American Cancer Society and team charities. Special pink merchandise is available at the NFL Shop with a portion of proceeds going to breast cancer charities.
