Think Pink!
The Washington Redskins annually team up with Zeta Tau Alpha (ZTA) to tackle breast cancer through a “Think Pink” awareness campaign. A Redskins home game is designated as a “Think Pink” game and hundreds of ZTA volunteers along with Redskins players and coaches’ wives distribute pink breast cancer awareness ribbons to arriving fans. In addition, Redskins Retail sells limited-edition items and donates the proceeds to the American Cancer Society. Moreover, in recognition of her unwavering support for breast cancer initiatives, as well as her own successful battle against the disease, Tanya Snyder serves as an official NFL spokesperson for the breast cancer awareness campaign.
All Star Survivors Celebration
The All Star Survivors Celebration is an annual event for area women currently battling breast cancer. The breast cancer survivors attending the event are pampered, supported, and celebrated by a host of players, coaches, and their wives. In addition to the luncheon, the breast cancer survivor “all stars” receive tickets to attend the Redskins breast cancer awareness game where they are special on-field guests and welcome the team onto the field during player introductions.
Military Events
The Washington Redskins Community Relations Department hosts a variety of military events each year including Pro vs. GI Joe, Rehabbing with the Troops, visits to military hospitals, and a military veterans day at Redskins Park. These events are designed to give back and say thank you to those men and women who have answered the call to serve our country.
