NFL Crucial Catch
It is expected that nearly half of Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, and the football community is no exception. Over the years, many members of the National Football League (NFL) have been touched by cancer, so the Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) is teaming up with the NFL through the NFL Crucial Catch partnership to raise funds to support those living with and beyond cancer.
Join us this October and together, we can make life better for people facing cancer.

Throughout the month of October, NFL Crucial Catch unites the football community including players, coaches, officials, front office staff, corporate partners, fans and supporters to help people affected by cancer. Dedicated NFL Crucial Catch games raise funds to help CCS and the American Cancer Society (ACS) offer national, compassionate support for people facing cancer, their caregivers and their families.
These funds support a national compassionate support system that provides care, comfort and connection to people living with cancer and their caregivers when they need it most such as reliable cancer information, rides to treatment or a place to stay for those who need to travel for treatment.
Just like in football, Canadians living with cancer need support from a team. Funds raised through NFL Crucial Catch provide a support system for people with cancer and their families to ensure no one faces cancer alone. Your contribution has never been more important.

Helping people get to and from cancer treatment
“I was young and afraid and didn’t know where to begin to look for reliable information on cervical cancer when I was diagnosed. The Canadian Cancer Society provided me with the opportunity to stay informed, share my experience with others and advocate the importance of screening,” Sarah Midea says, cancer survivor from Ottawa, Ontario.
