Coach to Cure MD

Posted on April 11, 2009 in National Campaigns

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Awareness

Coach To Cure MD is a partnership between the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), a professional organization for over 10,000 college football coaches and staff, and Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD), the largest national charity devoted exclusively to Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

On one day, September 26, 2009, college football coaches across the country will wear a Coach to Cure MD patch during games. This patch will hopefully serve as the trigger for coaches to (1) mention the Coach To Cure MD program and before, during and after the game to talk about Duchenne and our cause with local and national media to help reach out to a broader audience and educate them on Duchenne, (2) to encourage viewers to donate money for Duchenne research.

Because of its obvious potential to change the lives of those living with Duchenne, parents and families from across the country are joining together to help raise the funds and the national awareness necessary to make Coach to Cure MD an even bigger success this year.
