"A Crucial Catch"

Throughout the month of October all aspects of the NFL turned pink. In support of the fight against breast cancer, the NFL ran the campaign: A Crucial Catch.

The Colts greeted the month of October with arms wide open at Pink Monday. On October 3, the canal was taken over with live music, limited edition pink posters, and simply by making all things pink at the Ohio Street basin on the Downtown Canal. This even includes pinking the canal...and I mean literally making the water of Indianapolis' Downtown Canal pink!


Unfortunately the Colts only had one home game during the month of October on the 9th. But we still had a lot of fun with it! The girls got pink jerseys, pink poms, pink earrings; quite honestly everything was pink that Sunday (even Blue)!



The most meaningful part of this day, was that Sue (Clayton's mom), who is a breast cancer survivor, was able to stand on the field during the pre-game show with 100s of other women fighting and beating this same disease. They held large pink ribbons and stars, celebrating their own lives and raising awareness for this important campaign.

What a beautiful way to help make a difference in breast cancer prevention.
