ATLANTA — The American Cancer Society (ACS) and the Professional Football Players Mothers Association (PFPMA) have announced a new partnership to support cancer prevention, research and education.
The collaboration is a result of PFPMA’s support of the American Cancer Society’s partnership with the National Football League’s (NFL) Crucial Catch initiative.
Together, ACS and the NFL are committed to addressing the unequal burden of cancer in underserved communities. As a result, PFPMA’s support of Crucial Catch will help support CHANGE grants offering cancer prevention resources to communities in need.
“Cancer has touched all of us,” said Michele Green, PFPMA President. “We believe that our work together will amplify access to cancer education and programming, while also providing innovative and effective avenues to support important fundraising efforts.”
“We’re honored to have the NFL Moms join us in our mission to fight cancer from every angle,” said Sharon Byers, ACS Chief Development, Marketing and Communications Officer. “The bond between these mothers and their sons is inspiring. It is also an example of how cancer impacts entire families and that we all need to work together to overcome it.”
As part of the program, members of PFPMA will participate in select ACS events across the country. These events will primarily be tied to Making Strides Against Breast Cancer and Crucial Catch.
