The National Football League’s (NFL) Crucial Catch initiative in partnership with the American Cancer Society announced today a unique opportunity for a fan to attend an NFL game in London while supporting the fight against cancer. Through the 2019 NFL Crucial Catch London Sweepstakes, fans can support Crucial Catch’s mission of increasing early-detection and prevention of multiple types of cancer while engaging in a once-in-a-lifetime NFL experience at London’s world-famous Wembley Stadium. In creating this ultimate NFL fan experience, the NFL and American Cancer society are emphasizing their work to create a world without cancer.
Fanthropic, a 15 Seconds of Fame company, has partnered with the American Cancer Society to operate the sweepstakes. “The Crucial Catch campaign is just one way that the American Cancer Society and the NFL are trying to intercept cancer,” said Sharon Byers, Chief Development, Marketing and Communications Officer, American Cancer Society. “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for a special fan experience in London, all while knowing you’re helping our mission to fight cancer from every angle.” Jarred Snyder, co-founder of Fanthropic, added, “Our partnership with ACS is a prime example of why Fanthropic was created, to give fans the unique opportunity to experience incredible sporting events, all while helping to raise funds for charities and meaningful causes.”
NFL fans can enter for a chance to win this exciting experience by donating a minimum of $10 to the American Cancer Society and can double their entry by completing the Defender Tool at crucialcatch.nfl.com. The grand prize will be awarded to one winner and will include a round trip flight to London, lodging, two VIP game tickets to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans game on Nov. 3 at Wembley Stadium, and a meet and greet with both Jaguars cornerback AJ Bouye and Texans’ cornerback Johnathan Joseph, who both graciously donated their game tickets for this initiative. The sweepstakes will run from Tuesday, Sept. 17 until Sunday, Oct. 13.
For Bouye, working with the NFL’s Crucial Catch initiative and the American Cancer Society is an especially personal cause. “I lost my mom to both brain and breast cancer at the age of two, so this cause is especially close to my heart,” said Bouye. “I understand on a deeper level how much these donations are needed in order to find a cure and save lives, so I want to use my platform to raise awareness for the American Cancer Society’s cause.”
Joseph has similarly experienced a close personal connection to the cause. “Cancer affects everyone and that’s why it’s so important that we continue to raise funds to fight the disease,” said Joseph. “I lost my father to lung cancer and I know the pain that it causes. I’m humbled to use my platform to help save lives through support of the American Cancer Society and to honor my father’s legacy.”
As the NFL’s official cancer partner, the American Cancer Society encourages fans to participate to help save lives, celebrate lives, and fight for a world without cancer.
