“It is a great honor to represent Team Draft at the Chicago bears game. Together we will change to face of Lung cancer.” ~Diane Spry

“It means a lot and I am honored to have the opportunity to go to the Chicago Bear’s game with Team Draft. The tireless efforts and commitment of Chris and the Foundation have dedicated in changing the face of lung cancer is inspiring. I am so grateful and excited to be a part of their efforts.” ~ Jill Feldman 

“It’s an honor to represent one of the many faces of lung cancer with team draft. Lung cancer has been known as They Invisible cancer but Team Draft helps us to have our voices heard and our faces seen which is helping us create a world where no one dies of lung cancer. It’s not a smoking thing… It’s a breathing thing.” ~ Tracy Anderson Murphy 

In 2012, we, Team Draft, launched our inaugural Survivor Series initiative on CNN during a nationally-televised prime time special focusing on lung cancer and our National Campaign to Change the Face of Lung Cancer.

Our Survivor at Every Stadium, leverages our connections with the NFL, its teams and players with our relationships with many of the top cancer centers in the country. As a part of our International Campaign, the games allow us to celebrate our survivors, raise awareness, and give hope to those battling the disease, as well as shine a light on the important work being done at cancer research and treatment centers around the country.

Team Draft’s goals are to create a unique experience for participating survivors and to raise awareness on a local, national, and international level by using each game and each survivor’s story to weave a broader narrative about the state of cancer and the hope that now exists for those battling the disease.

It was so great to see/meet all of you Monday night! Did we have a blast or what?!?!?!? Thanks to Chris… thank you, Chris, for a wonderful evening and for all you do for lung cancer. I was proud to represent and be on TEAM DRAFT and help change the face of lung cancer!!!!!! ~ Susan Warmerdam
