The first “My Cause, My Cleats” campaign was such a success last year that the NFL brought it back again this season. Across the NFL on Sunday, players are allowed to wear customized cleats that represent, or bring awareness to, causes near and dear to them.
Last season, players highlighted everything from fighting diseases and illnesses to supporting various Boys and Girls Clubs. This season, we’ll see another wide range of charities featured on the players’ cleats. The NFL is tracking all of them here.
Here is a partial list of causes various players from every team are supporting in Week 13:
Arizona Cardinals
Deone Bucannon, LB: Support low-income families
Larry Fitzgerald, WR: He'll be honoring his mother, who lost her battle to breast cancer.
Drew Stanton, QB: Domestic violence
