It’s easy to see the pink apparel on Sundays. It colors NFL pins and ribbons, it pops out on team slogans and video boards. Players accent themselves with it on their armbands and cleats.
But what football fans don’t get to see – the bigger impact from purchasing, wearing and promoting all that pink – is what happened Tuesday in North Washington, D.C.
That much was made clear by Erin Hoynes, Vice President of the South-Atlantic division of the American Cancer Society, who was happy to partner with the NFL and the Redskins to donate $50,000 in funding to Mary’s Center, a federally qualified health center for the city’s residents.
