Since 2009, the partnership between the NFL and the American Cancer Society has raised more than $18 million to help people in underserved communities receive potentially lifesaving screening resources at low or no cost.
Every October, grant-funded community health centers team up with the American Cancer Society and the NFL to host Crucial Catch Day, a community event designed to help these communities reduce their risk for cancer through cancer prevention and early detection outreach and education.
Money raised through Crucial Catch supports the American Cancer Society’s Community Health Advocates implementing Nationwide Grants for Empowerment and Equity (CHANGE) program. This program promotes health equity and addresses cancer early detection disparities through community-based cancer prevention programs that increase access to necessary cancer screenings.
