NFL Players Showcase Charitable Causes Through My Cause My Cleats

The 'My Cause My Cleats' initiative provides a platform for NFL players to connect with their communities and support causes they are passionate about.

Pittsburgh Steelers:

During Week 13, Steelers players will wear custom cleats to support various organizations. For example, Kyler Baugh is supporting the Lupus Foundation of America, while T.J. Watt is supporting UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. Several players are also supporting Cafe Momentum, an organization that provides culinary and life skills training to youth.

New England Patriots:

Patriots long snapper Julian Ashby is honoring his former college teammate Bryce Stanfield, who passed away due to complications from blood clots. Ashby's cleats will raise awareness for the National Blood Clot Alliance. Other Patriots players are supporting causes ranging from global sports initiatives to foundations supporting children grieving loss.

Cleveland Browns:

Myles Garrett is honoring his late friend and former teammate Luke Laufenberg, who passed away from Burkitt lymphoma. Garrett's cleats will support the Luke Laufenberg Fight Fund, featuring a portrait of Laufenberg and the hashtag #LiveLikeLuke.

The initiative not only raises awareness but also provides financial support to these organizations, as players can auction off their cleats after the game to raise funds for their chosen cause.

It's an NFL initiative that allows players to wear custom cleats to support and promote charitable causes.

Players often auction off their cleats after the game, with 100% of the proceeds going to their chosen charity.

The initiative is typically implemented during Week 13 of the NFL season.
