The Bears will support National Breast Cancer Awareness Month at their two October home games, with a “Crucial Catch” campaign Monday night against the Vikings and their annual “Real Bears Fans Wear Pink” initiative Oct. 22 versus the Panthers.
Crucial Catch is an evolution of the NFL's breast cancer awareness campaign, expanding the impact of the league's work to multiple types of cancers, in addition to breast cancer.
Since 2009, the league's A Crucial Catch: Screening Save Lives campaign has raised more than $18 million for the American Cancer Society (ACS). With the success achieved, the league consulted with ACS to identify additional areas in which the league could create the most immediate impact in the fight against cancer.
