Football to Wear Cancer Awareness Helmets on Saturday
10/4/2023 10:32:00 AM | Football
In a tradition that started back in 2018, the Miami University football team will be carrying a special message with them as they take the field on Saturday, Oct. 7 in Miami's annual Cancer Awareness contest versus Bowling Green at 3:30 p.m. Each player's helmet features a colored ribbon of their choice to symbolize how they have been affected by cancer.
Â
Overall, 37 players selected pink to signify those affected by breast cancer, while 18 picked blue (colon cancer and esophageal cancer). Other colors include: 11 white (lung cancer), nine yellow/gray (child brain cancer), eight orange (kidney cancer and leukemia), six yellow (bladder cancer, sarcoma/bone cancer), six black (melanoma), six red (blood cancers/head and neck) and five purple (bladder/pancreatic/testicular). Three players had no preference.
