Fans Encouraged To Show Their Support at Oct. 23 Game Against Houston
 |
NASHVILLE, Tenn. The Tennessee Titans will support October's National Breast Cancer Awareness Month with a variety of activities at their Oct. 23 game against the Houston Texans. Prior to kickoff, the Titans will honor starting fullback Ahmard Hall's mother, Nancy, as their honorary 12th Titan. Nancy, an eight-year survivor of breast cancer, will raise the team's pink 12th Titan flag in a ceremony minutes before kickoff.
Just before honoring the 12th Titan, fans in attendance will be asked to help turn LP Field pink with a first-of-its-kind card stunt. Each seat will have a pink breast cancer awareness poster that the 69,000 fans will be prompted to hold up during the recognition. The back of each poster has important breast cancer screening and awareness information.
The Titans are also partnering with Saint Thomas Health Systems (http://www.sths.com/) to honor 12 breast cancer survivors who will lead the Titans on the field before the game. Additionally, Saint Thomas Health Systems will have its mobile mammography unit positioned outside the stadium at the south end zone before the game to answer questions.
Titans' players and coaches will wear pink equipment and apparel, while game balls with pink ribbon decals will be used for every down. The Zeta Tau Alpha fraternity will also be handing out pink ribbons to the first 18,000 fans through the gates.
