Los Angeles, CA. Southern Cal lung cancer survivor-advocate Lee Anne Robinson represented Team Draft at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on Monday night. Lee Anne and her husband watched the Los Angeles Rams take on the visiting Baltimore Ravens with the Rams 1999 Super Bowl team. #RamsHouse #LA #SoCal #USC I was honored to have been asked to go to the Monday Night Football game featuring the 1999 Super Bowl team. To represent the many Lung Cancer survivors out there living and thriving, well beyond expectation, is very humbling and exciting at the same time. To be able to bring awareness that lung cancer patients and their families DESERVE AND DEMAND more research into more treatments that can further extend our lives gives me joy and renews my inner warrior. My thanks go to Chris Bryant and his foundation, the NFL and USC Oncology and research. ~ Lee Anne Robinson In 2012, we launched our inaugural Team Draft 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. Our 6th annual Lung Cancer Survivors Super Bowl Challenge kicked off on November 1, 2019. The Challenge will conclude on December 30th at 3amEST. This unique fund raising challenge gives lung cancer survivors the opportunity to raise funds for public awareness and cutting-edge research that is giving new hope to those battling this often misunderstood disease. The top three fundraisers, announced on December 30, 2019, will earn trips to the Super Bowl, Pro Bowl and the Taste of the NFL. The survivors earned the opportunity to share their powerful stories with key individuals with influence from across the country. The lung cancer survivors that raise over $5,000 will be able to designate a beneficiary (Cancer Center or LC Organization) that will receive 90% of their raised funds (-fees) and the remaining 10% will support Team Draft’s mission to change the face of lung cancer. Special thanks to the LA Rams, Rams Central Fan Club, Astra Zeneca, the NFL and all of our Team Draft supporters for helping make this event possible.
