美国职业球队和球员们回馈他们的社区。
卡罗来纳黑豹队（Carolina Panthers）四分卫凯姆·牛顿（Cam Newton）在球门前祈祷。被涂成粉红色的门柱代表全国美式足球联盟（National Football League）发起的宣传防治乳腺癌的“关键拦截”（A Crucial Catch）活动。
全国美式足球联盟与美国癌症协会（American Cancer Society，ACS）联合举办的这项活动侧重于年度检诊的重要性。通过营销大量粉红色调的用品以及拍卖球员和教练们穿过的衣服，全国美式足球联盟致力于提高大家对这项事业的认识并为此募款。所得款项将捐给美国癌症协会设立的“增进权能社区健康倡导全国赠款”（Community Health Advocates National Grants for Empowerment，CHANGE）计划。该计划向服务匮乏的社区中的妇女提供乳腺癌检查。
全国美式足球联盟并不是唯一一家致力于社区服务的全国性体育联盟。全国篮球协会（National Basketball Association）的“全国篮球协会关怀”（NBA Cares）计划关注教育、家庭发展和健康与福祉。该计划自2005年以来已经为慈善事业募集了超过2.18亿美元。
职业棒球大联盟（Major League Baseball）的全部30支球队都把5月定为肌萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症防治月（Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Awareness Month），以纪念曾患肌萎缩性脊髓侧索硬化症的棒球巨星卢·格里格（Lou Gehrig）。职业棒球大联盟慈善会（Major League Baseball Charities）及职业棒球大联盟球员信托基金（MLB Players Trust）赞助举办了很多社区活动。

Professional sports teams and athletes in the United States give back to their communities.
Carolina Panthers Quarterback Cam Newton prays before a goal post covered in pink for the National Football League’s breast cancer awareness campaign, “A Crucial Catch.”
Conducted in partnership with the American Cancer Society (ACS), the NFL’s campaign focuses on the importance of annual diagnostic screening. By marketing a plethora of pink-hued paraphernalia and auctioning apparel worn by players and coaches, the organization raises awareness and money for the cause. The proceeds benefit ACS’s Community Health Advocates National Grants for Empowerment (CHANGE) program, which provides breast cancer screenings to women in underserved communities.
But the NFL is not the only national sports league dedicated to community service. The National Basketball Association’s NBA Cares program, which focuses on education, family development and health and wellness, has raised more than $218 million for charity since 2005.
All 30 teams in Major League Baseball recognize May as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Awareness Month in honor of baseball great Lou Gehrig, who suffered from ALS. Major League Baseball Charities and the MLB Players Trust sponsor many community activities.
