2. A TEAM EFFORT TO TACKLE BREAST CANCER
What a way to, ahem, "block" together and tackle Breast Cancer. The Eagles are proud to support the fight against breast cancer by going out in the community and touching the lives of families who have been affected by the disease. In an effort to do so, Bringing Hope Home, an Eagles Care partner of the Philadelphia Eagles, brought three of their partner families to join the Eagles offensive line on Monday at the NovaCare Complex to carve pink pumpkins as part of the team's "Pumpkin Pink-Out" initiative. The group carved up the pumpkins and the players involved signed some of the pink pumpkins to mark the occasion.
Since 2005, the Philadelphia Eagles and Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals have worked together to help tackle breast cancer. Together with Eagles fans, more than $1 million has been raised towards the Jefferson Breast Care Center.
3. MARK THE DATE: DECEMBER 28 FOR AMERICAN RED CROSS/EAGLES BLOOD DRIVE
For the sixth consecutive year, the Eagles and the American Red Cross are teaming up to host the 6th Annual Blood Drive from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Lincoln Financial Field. All presenting blood donors will receive a limited-edition Eagles hat, and six lucky donors will be randomly selected to win a pair of Eagles tickets to the 2014 Season Home Opener along with much, much more!
On Monday at the NovaCare Complex, the American Red Cross and the Eagles held an Eagles employee blood drive, which included participation by team president Don Smolenski.
