ARLINGTON, VA (December 4, 2023) – Over the weekend, the NFL kicked off its annual My Cause My Cleats initiative – an opportunity for players to highlight a cause that is important to them and represent their chosen organization on custom-designed cleats and shoes. Bill Cowher, CBS Sports NFL Analyst and Super Bowl XL Champion Head Coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers, revealed his support for Stand Together Foundation, a national nonprofit committed to breaking the cycle of poverty in America by driving change from within communities.
During the Sunday, December 3 CBS Sports broadcast, Cowher discussed his passions beyond the game and his support for Stand Together Foundation: "My cause is Stand Together Foundation. It's a nonprofit that's committed to breaking the cycles of poverty and bridging divides across the country. They believe in people and empowering them to realize their full potential. Stand Together Foundation is partnering with more than three hundred local nonprofits including Café Momentum, a restaurant in Pittsburgh run almost entirely by justice-impacted youth. I hope the Steelers fans will check them out."
Evan Feinberg, executive director of Stand Together Foundation, expressed his gratitude: "Stand Together Foundation is honored to be selected as Bill Cowher's cause for this year's My Cause My Cleats initiative. Our shared mission is to break down barriers to opportunities, empower people to lead their best lives, and bridge divides in our communities. We find inspiration in changemakers like Bill, and we extend our gratitude to the NFL for leveraging their platform to bring about meaningful change."
