All the pink items worn by players and coaches are auctioned off and proceeds are given to the American Cancer Society. The NFL has raised $6MM since the program started.
Thanks. Good to know.
What football needs is more pink, even after this month. Not really, but here it is,

I agree. Can you imagine if we somehow took ourselvers and our families 50 years ago, and timewarped to now, what we would think?
You are right, wearing pink to cure a disease is right up there with witch doctor chants.
I will pay attention when they have a Testicular Cancer Awareness month.
Great cause and great that the NFL supports it, But ONE WEEK WOULD BE ENOUGH. I think a full month of it is overkill and there are other worthy causes.
