We agree, guy with the giant head, Jennifer IS no. 1!

Tom Brady’s receivers weren’t the only ones to find the end zone last Sunday night. That’s Concord’s own Jennifer Burzycki, who was honored at the Patriots game as a breast cancer survivor as part of the NFL Crucial Catch campaign.

Jennifer Burzycki of Concord was among the breast cancer survivors honored during the New England Patriots pregame ceremonies Oct. 5. As part of the NFL Crucial Catch campaign in partnership with the American Cancer Society, the Kraft family and the Patriots invited breast cancer survivors and their caregivers from across New England to take part in the pregame ceremonies. The game featured a $50,000 check presentation from the Kraft family and New England Patriots Charitable Foundation to support the American Cancer Society and breast cancer screenings at the Community Health Center of Franklin County.

The NFL, its clubs, players, the NFL Players Association and the American Cancer Society are committed to saving lives from breast cancer, and addressing the unequal burden of cancer in underserved communities.

The “A Crucial Catch” campaign, in partnership with the American Cancer Society, is focused on the importance of annual screenings, especially for women who are 40 and older.

This year, all NFL markets will be supported with American Cancer Society grants funded by A Crucial Catch.
