NFL, American Cancer Society Teams Up for ‘A Crucial Catch’

The NFL and the American Cancer Society are partnering for their fifth annual “A Crucial Catch” campaign.

“A Crucial Catch” is a nationwide breast cancer campaign to educate and screen women across the country. Since its inception in 2009, the NFL has raised approximately $7 million for the American Cancer Society through sales of pink merchandise.

On Saturday, October 25TH, the American Cancer Society, grant-funded community health system partners, and the NFL are teaming up to launch its first nationwide, breast cancer event, “A Crucial Catch Day.” The event is expected to provide breast cancer education and free or low-cost screenings to the underserved communities within all 32 NFL team markets.

In Grand Junction, Making Strides Against Breast Cancer of Mesa County is scheduled for this Saturday (October 11) at Sherwood Park. The fundraising 5K event will open for registration at 7:00 a.m. and kick off at 8:00 a.m. For more information or to sign up, visit MakingStridesWalk.org/MesaCounty.
