Redskins Breast Cancer Awareness Game

Every October, the Washington Redskins designate one game as the official breast cancer awareness game. Fans attending the game are welcomed by Tanya Snyder, wife of Redskins owner Daniel Snyder and WOW founder, and hundreds of Zeta Tau Alpha members who distribute more than 60,000 THINK-PINK!® ribbons and breast cancer awareness educational materials each year. The breast cancer awareness game features game balls with pink ribbon decals, on-field pink ribbon stencils and pink goal posts, as well as pink equipment for players including cleats, wristbands, gloves, sideline caps, helmet decals, chin straps, sideline towels and more.

Mrs. Snyder and ZTA started the campaign for breast cancer awareness in 1999. With the founding and continuous support of Mrs. Snyder and the Washington Redskins, ZTA created a national model for its THINK-PINK!® breast cancer awareness and education campaign throughout the NFL.

WOW is dedicated to becoming a breast cancer resource and support group for women in the Washington, D.C., area. By raising awareness, providing resources and stressing the importance of annual screenings, WOW hopes to tackle breast cancer one screening at a time.
