DURHAM, N.C. – The Duke football team will team up with Curing Kids Cancer as part of its 'First and Gold' campaign during Saturday's home game against Northwestern.
The 'First and Gold' campaign is a collaboration with Curing Kids Cancer led by collegiate football teams to spread the word that September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. At Duke during the Northwestern contest, the Blue Devils will have CuringKidsCancer.org helmet decals. Duke is one of eight teams participating in the collaboration this month.
The Blue Devils are inviting all children's cancer patients, survivors and their families to be our guests and be recognized on the field. To sign up, please visit www.GoDuke.com/fightcancer.
"Childhood cancer research is so badly in need of funding that by supporting this awareness campaign college football teams and coaches can actually help Curing Kids Cancer to save children's lives," Grainne Owen, founder of Curing Kids Cancer, said.
About Curing Kids Cancer
