EAGAN, Minn. -- The National Football League's annual Crucial Catch campaign aims to bring awareness to early detection and risk reduction efforts for multiple cancers during the month of October.
Ahead of Sunday's home game against the Arizona Cardinals, Minnesota Vikings owners Zygi, Mark and Lenny Wilf purchased "Crucial Catch" Nikes for every team staff member, including all front office staff, scouts and coaches.
Each employee was able to choose a shoe color based on one of 11 different cancers the campaign recognizes: navy (colon cancer); pink (breast); teal (cervical); blue (prostate); gold (pediatric); emerald green (liver); white (lung); gray (brain); orange (kidney); purple (pancreatic); and black (melanoma).
