Oct 04, 2018 at 03:01 PM

The Kansas City Chiefs will host the Jacksonville Jaguars at noon on Sunday, Oct. 7. Fans can find important information and reminders about Sunday's game below.

Crucial Catch

The Chiefs, along with the NFL and its member clubs, the NFL Players Association and the American Cancer Society, are committed to the fight against cancer. Now in its second year, the Crucial Catch platform addresses multiple types of cancer through early detection and risk reduction. The Chiefs have chosen to raise awareness for multiple cancers during Sunday's game and will have players, coaches and officials in apparel supporting multiple types of cancer, as well as additional on-field and in-stadium branding to help raise awareness for the campaign.

Before the end of the first quarter, all fans are encouraged to fill out the "I CHEER FOR" card that will be handed out at entry gates to recognize someone close to them who has been affected by cancer. Fans are invited to take selfies with the card and share using #ChiefsVsCancer, and when prompted at the quarter break, hold up the card to share in an in-stadium moment with all fans inside Arrowhead. Photos that are shared with #ChiefsVsCancer will be featured on the video boards at Arrowhead and on www.chiefs.com/chiefsvscancer.

At halftime, Broadway-star Trenyce (Truh-niece) Cobbins will come out to sing "Run" by Snow Patrol as a tribute to all of those who have been affected by cancer. Chiefs Cheerleaders will join her for the halftime performance. Additionally, there will be ribbons on the field for the seven screenable cancers, accompanied by a balloon release at the end with colors coordinating to the ribbons.
