The New York Jets and Atlantic Health System are partnering in the fight against pediatric cancer as part of the NFL and American Cancer Society's “Crucial Catch: Intercept Cancer” campaign. After nearly a decade of supporting breast cancer, the Jets, NFL and American Cancer Society have evolved the campaign to address early detection and risk reduction efforts for multiple cancers, including pediatric cancer, to increase our impact.
Before the Jets take on the Patriots on October 15, four children who are undergoing or have completed treatment at the Valerie Center at Goryeb Children's Hospital, part of Atlantic Health System, will serve as honorary captains for the coin toss.
