National Football League #MyCauseMyCleats Campaign to Include Veteran Service Organization The Travis Manion Foundation

Boston, MA (PRWEB) December 02, 2016

During Week 13 of the NFL season, there will be a little more style to it as NFL players all across the league will be permitted to wear custom cleats during the games. According to the NFL, more than 500 players will be participating in this cause. The reason for the new custom cleats is for players to bring awareness to a specific charity of their choosing. #MyCauseMyCleats has been the popular hashtag going around Twitter and other social media sites to promote the charitable endeavor.

New England Patriot's long snapper, Joe Cardona will be supporting the Travis Manion Foundation during their game against the Los Angeles Rams this Sunday, December 4th for his #MyCauseMyCleats campaign. Cardona is a 2015 graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy and is also an officer of the U.S. Navy. He is the only active NFL player who is also an active member of the United States Armed Forces. The Travis Manion Foundation, whose mission is to empower veterans and families of fallen heroes to develop character in future generations, was the most fitting charity for this Navy graduate.

The benefit of the NFL's #MyCauseMyCleats campaign is to allow players to earn money for their respective charities by auctioning off their cleats through NFL auction. All proceeds will go back to their chosen charity.
