SUMMARY:Survivor at Every Stadium: Los Angeles Rams #MondayNightFootball
DESCRIPTION:Los Angeles\, CA. Southern Cal lung cancer survivor-advocate Lee Anne Robinson represented Team Draft at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Monday night. Lee Anne and her husband watched the Los Angeles Rams take on the visiting Baltimore Ravens with the Rams 1999 Super Bowl team. #RamsHouse #LA #SoCal #USC \nI was honored to have been asked to go to the Monday Night Football game featuring the 1999 Super Bowl team. To represent the many Lung Cancer survivors out there living and thriving\, well beyond expectation\, is very humbling and exciting at the same time. To be able to bring awareness that lung cancer patients and their families DESERVE AND DEMAND more research into more treatments that can further extend our lives gives me joy and renews my inner warrior. My thanks go to Chris Bryant and his foundation\, the NFL and USC Oncology and research. ~ Lee Anne Robinson \n \nIn 2012\, we launched our inaugural Team Draft Survivor Series initiative on CNN during a nationally-televised prime time special focusing on lung cancer and our National Campaign to Change the Face of Lung Cancer. Our Survivor at Every Stadium\, leverages our connections with the NFL\, its teams and players with our relationships with many of the top cancer centers in the country. As a part of our International Campaign\, the games allow us to celebrate our survivors\, raise awareness\, and give hope to those battling the disease\, as well as shine a light on the important work being done at cancer research and treatment centers around the country. \nTeam Draft’s goals are to create a unique experience for participating survivors and to raise awareness on a local\, national\, and international level by using each game and each survivor’s story to weave a broader narrative about the state of cancer and the hope that now exists for those battling the disease. \nOur 6th annual Lung Cancer Survivors Super Bowl Challenge kicked off on November 1\, 2019. The Challenge will conclude on December 30th at 3amEST. This unique fund raising challenge gives lung cancer survivors the opportunity to raise funds for public awareness and cutting-edge research that is giving new hope to those battling this often misunderstood disease. The top three fundraisers\, announced on December 30\, 2019\, will earn trips to the Super Bowl\, Pro Bowl and the Taste of the NFL. \nThe survivors earned the opportunity to share their powerful stories with key individuals with influence from across the country. \nThe lung cancer survivors that raise over $5\,000 will be able to designate a beneficiary (Cancer Center or LC Organization) that will receive 90% of their raised funds (-fees) and the remaining 10% will support Team Draft’s mission to change the face of lung cancer. \nSpecial thanks to the LA Rams\, Rams Central Fan Club\, Astra Zeneca\, the NFL and all of our Team Draft supporters for helping make this event possible. \nDonate now to Support the National Campaign to Change the Face of Lung Cancer!

SUMMARY:Happy 8th Anniversary Team Draft
DESCRIPTION:Team Draft Marks Anniversary With Call To Action To Support Annual Lung Cancer Survivors Super Bowl Challenge \n(Atlanta\, GA) – Chris Draft faced some tough opponents during his 12 years in the NFL\, but nothing could have prepared him for the news he and then girlfriend\, Keasha\, received when Keasha\, a never-smoker\, was diagnosed with lung cancer.  Despite the diagnosis and knowing the long odds they faced\, Chris and Keasha made a choice to fight back and 8 years ago today\, on November 27\, 2011\, standing hand-in-hand\, they launched Team Draft at their wedding.  Keasha died a month later. \n“When Keasha was diagnosed\, she knew she had two choices: she could give up and except death or she could live each day to the fullest\,” says Draft.  “Keasha was fighter\, so she chose to give it everything she’s got\,” he says. \n“On our wedding day\, Keasha and I made two commitments: one to each other and one to the lung cancer community\,” says Draft.  “Keasha knew our second commitment couldn’t be accomplished without a team\, so instead of gifts\, she asked our family and friends to join the lung cancer fight by donating to our foundation\,” Draft explains.  Those donations became the seed money for Team Draft\, and helped launch its National Campaign to Change the Face of Lung Cancer. \n“Keasha’s story is tangible proof that anybody can get lung cancer; it’s not just a ‘smoker’s disease’\,” says Draft.  “If you believe that anybody can get lung cancer\, then you have to be committed to everybody\,” Draft explains.  “Keasha knew that all too well\, and she knew that our commitment to fight lung cancer had to be about more than just her; it had to be about the entire lung cancer community\,” Draft says\, adding that “for Keasha\, the fight wasn’t about ‘me\,’ it was about ‘we.’” \nSince Chris and Keasha launched Team Draft on their wedding day in 2011\, Team Draft has been on a mission to identify and support individuals\, institutions and organizations who\, like Keasha\, make the choice to give it everything they have got to fight lung cancer—individuals and organizations who are willing to stand with Team Draft and fight not only for themselves\, but also for their communities.  For Team Draft\, it has always been about the “we” and not the “me”—just as Keasha intended. \nTeam Draft’s National Campaign has taken it to hundreds of the top cancer centers around the world in search of institutions willing to talk about the important research they are doing and about how that research is changing lives.  Through its Survivor At Every Stadium initiative\, Team Draft is identifying survivors who\, like Keasha\, choose to stand up not only for themselves\, but also for the millions of people living (or will be diagnosed) with lung cancer.  Once Team Draft\, working with likeminded cancer centers and organizations\, identifies these “survivor-advocates\,” Team Draft provides them with the opportunity to share their stories at NFL\, NBA\, MLS\, NHL\, and college football games\, using Team Draft’s unique platform to weave a broader narrative about the true nature of lung cancer and the hope that now exists for survivors. \nTeam Draft’s annual Lung Cancer Survivors Super Bowl Challenge brings it all together.  This one-of-a-kind fund raising challenge gives lung cancer survivor-advocates the opportunity to compete to raise funds for public awareness and cutting-edge research.  The survivor-advocate whose team raises the most money will join Team Draft at the Super Bowl in Miami.  The runner-up will receive a trip to the 2019 Pro Bowl.  The third place finisher will join Team Draft at the 29th Annual Taste of the NFL—a food and wine festival held in Miami the night before the big game where guests will savor dishes prepared by some of the top chefs in the country while rubbing shoulders with legendary players from all 32 NFL Teams. \nIn addition to raising critical public awareness\, the Super Bowl Challenge also raises funds for lung cancer organizations and treatment centers across North America.  And because Team Draft’s National Campaign has always been about “we” and not “me\,” participating survivor-advocates who raise more than $5\,000 during the Super Bowl Challenge may commit 90% of the funds they raised to a lung cancer organization or cancer center of their choice with the remaining 10% going to support Team Draft and its mission.  While Team Draft hopes to have survivor-advocates from all 32 NFL cities participate in the challenge\, the ultimate goal is for all NCI designated cancer centers and lung cancer organizations\, regardless of location\, to identify and support a survivor-advocate in the Challenge every year.  \nTo that end\, Team Draft is marking its anniversary with a call to action.  “We know that the key to winning this fight is for cancer centers and lung cancer organizations to identify and support their survivor-advocates\,” Draft explains.  “We are challenging all cancer centers and organizations to help fulfill the commitment Keasha and I made on our wedding day by choosing to identify and support survivor-advocates who are willing to share their stories and talk about the great work these organizations are doing to fight lung cancer\,” he says. \nTeam Draft is also challenging individuals to make the choice to help fulfill Chris and Keasha’s commitment by joining Team Draft’s Campaign and donating to the Chris Draft Family Foundation at www.chrisdraftfamilyfoundation.org or supporting a participating survivor-advocate in the Super Bowl Challenge at https://www.crowdrise.com/o/en/campaign/2020-lung-cancer-survivors-super-bowl-challenge. \n“This is a fight we can win\, but it takes at team to tackle cancer\, and we need your help\,” Draft adds.  Will you choose to stand up for your community? \n  \nAbout Team Draft \nTeam Draft is an initiative of the Chris Draft Family Foundation dedicated to increasing lung cancer awareness and research funding.  To learn more or to donate\, visit www.teamdraft.org.

SUMMARY:Survivor at Every Stadium: Arizona Cardinals
DESCRIPTION:Glendale\, AZ. Phoenix lung cancer survivor-advocate Yovana Portilla represented Team Draft at State Farm Stadium on Sunday afternoon. Yovana and her godson\, tailgated with LA Rams and AZ Cardinals fans\, before watching the Cardinals take on the visiting Rams. After the game\, Tucson lung cancer survivor-advocate Ron Crescenzo joined group at a dinner hosted by NFL Legend Ray Austin at\, his restaurant\, RKDA.  #SundayFootball #RiseUPRedSea \nI would like to extend my most heartfelt thank you to Chris Draft and The Team Draft Foundation for inviting and hosting my godson\, Mark Wiltshire\, and I at the Arizona Cardinals’ vs the L.A. Rams American Football Game on December 1st in Glendale\, AZ. Tailgating with the other spectator fans was a great way to start off the day and get into the football game atmosphere! It is always humbling to be part of #TeamDraft’s changing the face of Lung Cancer campaign. The Team Draft Foundation has the most extraordinary platform in partnership with the NFL and is doing amazing and very important work for the Lung Cancer Community with its #survivorateveryateverystadium initiative. By inviting us\, Lung Cancer survivor football fans\, to be spectators in the stadiums of America’s favorite sport right alongside millions of other fans is showing the world that lung cancer can happen to anyone. It does not discriminate. It does not care about your gender\, age\, race\, political status\, religion or smoking history. And this is why research matters and should be of upmost importance. Everyone would want the latest research to be available for our Moms\, our Dads\, our sisters\, our brothers\, our daughters\, our sons\, our friends and our neighbors. Chris Draft and the Team Draft Foundation bring hope into a Lung Cancer Survivor’s life by making us feel that we matter and deserve a chance at life. ~Yovana Maria Portillo\, Lung Cancer Survivor/Advocate \n \n  \nIn 2012\, we launched our inaugural Team Draft Survivor Series initiative on CNN during a nationally-televised prime time special focusing on lung cancer and our National Campaign to Change the Face of Lung Cancer.

SUMMARY:Survivor at Every Stadium: Seattle Seahawks #MondayNightFootball
DESCRIPTION:Seattle\, WA. US Army veteran lung cancer survivor-advocate Angela Downs represented Team Draft at CenturyLink Stadium on Monday night. Angela and her son watched her hometown Seattle Seahawks defeat the visiting Minnesota Vikings. \n“It means the world to me that my son and I are able to attend Monday Night Football\, with Chris Draft\, as advocates for Lung Cancer Awareness! Participating in the Draft Family Foundation Super Bowl Challenge has been an amazing opportunity to change the face of lung cancer by raising money that goes directly to research and builds awareness in the process.”~ Angela Downs \n \n\n (CNN)An Army combat veteran who is facing the fight of her life has joined forces with a former NFL player to raise lung cancer awareness and research funds.  \nRetired Lt. Col. Angela Downs served 21 years in the Army\, including a 2006 deployment to Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom.\nOne year ago this month Downs was on the receiving end of a personal bombshell when she was diagnosed with a form of lung cancer.\nIn between her immunotherapy treatments and radiation\, Downs works with Draft’s foundation and the Department of Veterans Affairs on behalf of her brothers and sisters in uniform. \n“There is a disproportionate number of veterans being afflicted with lung cancer\,” said Downs. \nLung cancer kills more people than prostate\, colon\, and breast cancer combined\, according to the Lungevity Foundation\, a national\, lung-cancer-focused nonprofit.\n\nSuper Bowl Challenge\n\nThe 2020 Super Bowl Challenge runs through December 30. \nThe fundraising effort “gives lung cancer survivors the opportunity to raise funds for public awareness and cutting-edge research that is giving new hope to those battling this often misunderstood disease\,” according to the Chris Draft Family Foundation’s website.\nLung cancer survivors who raise the most money get to attend various NFL events\, which provide a national stage for lung cancer awareness. The top fundraiser will also attend the Super Bowl.\nOn this Veterans Day\, Downs says her battle with cancer isn’t being fought alone. \n“My military experience definitely helped me to know that I need to take the battle day by day\, and that it takes a team. No one can go it alone.”\nRead the full article  \n\nIn 2012\, we launched our inaugural Team Draft Survivor Series initiative on CNN during a nationally-televised prime time special focusing on lung cancer and our National Campaign to Change the Face of Lung Cancer.

SUMMARY:Team Draft Marks Giving Tuesday With A Call To Support Sixth Annual Lung Cancer Survivors’ Super Bowl Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Team Draft Marks Giving Tuesday With A Call To Support Sixth Annual Lung Cancer Survivors’ Super Bowl Challenge \n (ATLANTA\, GA) – Today is Giving Tuesday—a day designed to unleash the power of people to change their communities by supporting the organizations they care about.  On this Giving Tuesday\, Team Draft is challenging people to help change the face of lung cancer by supporting its 6th Annual Lung Cancer Survivors’ Super Bowl Challenge.  This one-of-kind fund raising challenge gives lung cancer “survivor-advocates” the opportunity to compete to against each other to raise funds for critical public awareness of this often misunderstood disease and for cutting-edge research that is giving new hope to those battling it.  The top three fundraisers\, announced on December 30\, 2019\, will earn trips to the Super Bowl in Miami\, the Pro Bowl in Orlando\, and the 29th Taste Of The NFL\, an exclusive food and wine festival held in Miami the night before the big game where guests will savor dishes prepared by some of the top chefs in the country while rubbing shoulders with legendary players from all 32 NFL teams. \n  \nTeam Draft was founded by former NFL linebacker and internationally-recognized health advocate Chris Draft and his late wife Keasha on November 27\, 2011—their wedding day.  At the time\, Keasha\, a never-smoker\, was battling Stage IV Lung Cancer after being diagnosed with the disease in December 2010.  Despite the diagnosis and knowing the long odds they faced\, Chris and Keasha decided to fight back\, and standing side-by-side\, they launched Team Draft at their wedding.  Keasha died one month later. \n  \nSince its founding\, Team Draft has been dedicated to using its unique platform to raise lung cancer awareness and research funding through its Campaign To Change The Face Of Lung Cancer.  And the centerpiece of that Campaign is Team Draft’s annual Lung Cancer Survivors’ Super Bowl Challenge.  As Draft explains\, “the Super Bowl Challenge gives us a unique opportunity to use the overwhelming media coverage surrounding the Super Bowl to raise lung cancer awareness on an international level.” \n  \nTeam Draft’s efforts are paying off.  “The Challenge achieves some amazing things in terms of public awareness and changing perceptions about lung cancer\,” says Dr. Ross Camidge\, Director of Thoracic Oncology at Colorado University Cancer Center. \n  \nBy giving survivor-advocates like Gina Hollenbeck\, one of last year’s Challenge winners\, a world-wide platform to share their stories\, Team Draft is weaving a broader narrative about the true nature of lung cancer and the hope that now exists for survivors.  As Gina put it last year\, “I am super excited about this opportunity to go to the Super Bowl with my husband\, but I am even more excited to give lung cancer a voice”—a sentiment echoed by Jeff Meckstorth\, another past winner.  “In many ways\,” says Jeff\, the Super Bowl Challenge is “a once and a lifetime opportunity to thank our community\, fight for all lung cancer families\, but most importantly to educate the public about the reality of lung cancer.” \n  \nIn addition to raising critical public awareness\, the Super Bowl Challenge also raises funds for lung cancer organizations and treatment centers across North America.  And because Team Draft’s National Campaign has always been about “we” and not “me\,” just as Keasha intended\, participating survivor-advocates who raise more than $5\,000 during the Super Bowl Challenge may commit 90% of the funds they raise to a lung cancer organization or cancer center of their choice with the remaining 10% going to support Team Draft and its mission.  Of this aspect of the Super Bowl Challenge\, Dr. Camidge says\, “you need somebody working on the national level.  You need somebody working on the local level.  Everybody wins.” \n  \nAs Draft points out\, “anybody can get lung cancer.”  “The disease doesn’t care where you live\, but your zip code often determines the quality of care you receive\,” he explains.  “In football\, we understand the importance of the home field advantage.  By allowing survivors to direct where funds go\, we’re giving people the opportunity to fight for better cancer treatment in their communities—to give themselves and their neighbors the home field advantage\,” he says. \n  \nBut for the competing survivor-advocates\, the Super Bowl Challenge is so much more than a fundraiser.  “Team Draft has really helped boost our family’s spirits during this challenging time\,” says Dr. Lucy Kalanithi.  In 2015\, Lucy and her husband\, Dr. Paul Kalanithi\, won Team Draft’s inaugural Super Bowl Challenge and were able to join Team Draft in Phoenix for Super Bowl 49.  Paul went on to write the bestselling memoir When Breath Becomes Air—a powerful and moving chronical of his life and lung cancer journey—before passing away at the age of 37. \n  \nWhile Team Draft hopes to have survivor-advocates from all 32 NFL cities participate in the Super Bowl Challenge\, the ultimate goal is for all NCI designated cancer centers and lung cancer organizations—regardless of location—to identify and support a survivor-advocate in the Challenge every year.  “We know the key to winning this fight is for everybody in the lung cancer community to support one another\,” says Draft\, adding that “the only way a community or an organization loses is if nobody stands up.” \n  \nOn this #GivingTuesday\, Team Draft is challenge everybody to make the choice to fight for their communities by joining the Campaign To Change The Face Of Lung Cancer by donating to the Chris Draft Family Foundation at www.chrisdraftfamilyfoundation.org or supporting a participating survivor-advocate in the Super Bowl Challenge at https://www.crowdrise.com/o/en/campaign/2020-lung-cancer-survivors-super-bowl-challenge. \n  \n“This is a fight we can win\, but it takes at team to tackle cancer\, and we need your help\,” Draft says.  Will you choose to stand up for your community? \n  \nAbout Team Draft \n  \nTeam Draft is an initiative of the Chris Draft Family Foundation dedicated to increasing lung cancer awareness and research funding.  To learn more or to donate\, visit www.teamdraft.org.
