The NFL goes "pink" for a week Tuesday, October 06, 2009

Part of my job here at the Pro Football Hall of Fame is to seek out player equipment whenever a record is broken or a great moment occurs. Right now I’m working on collecting several pink things from this weekend. As you know many NFL players wore pink during Week 4 games to promote Breast Cancer Awareness month. I hope to get a couple of pieces of game used pink mementos to commemorate the great way the NFL brought attention to Breast Cancer.

Probably everyone who reads this knows someone who has battled cancer. Right now you can help shop for a cure by buying merchandise on our website. Twenty percent of all sales on this merchandise in our online store now through October 9 will go to the Susan G. Komen Fight for a Cure foundation.

You can also be sure to look for a story soon on the website about some of the mementos we received and a display here at the Hall of Fame commemorating how the NFL went “pink” for a weekend to fight Breast cancer.
