2008 Oakland Raiders Football 101

ALTA BATES SUMMIT MEDICAL CENTER & THE OAKLAND RAIDERS TEAM UP TO SCORE Take fans "On the Field" in an all new FOOTBALL 101!

The Oakland Raiders and Alta Bates Summit Medical Center hosted the 11th annual “all new” On the Field - Football 101 event at the Raiders’ training facility in Alameda and McAfee Coliseum on Saturday, October 4th. It was another exciting and unique afternoon of fun, raising over $13,000 to benefit breast cancer screenings for low-income women in the community through Alta Bates Summit’s Markstein Cancer Education and Prevention Center and Comprehensive Cancer Center.

The afternoon started off with a quick tour of the Oakland Raiders headquarters and training facility, then participants took a bus ride to the McAfee Coliseum for a barbeque lunch. The program started with Raiders CEO, Amy Trask who later introduced Renel Brooks-Moon, host of the “Renel in the Morning” show on 98.1 KISS FM, and in-game announcer for the San Francisco Giants with her famous “Raaaiiidddeeerrrsss” chant. The attendees had a treat by meeting and taking photos of Raiders Legends: Greg Biekert, Kenny Shedd, Robert Jenkins, Morris Bradshaw; Special Teams Coach in the 70’s, Joe Scannella, along with Hall of Famers, Fred Biletnikoff and Willie Brown.

A benefit drawing of autographed Raiders memorabilia was held and the winners were: Beth Entwistle from San Diego, Rick & Stacy Frawley and Scott Freeman.

Oakland Raiders legends and coaches taught the “ins and outs” of the game – on the field with drills, rules, plays and strategies. Attendees also received an exclusive backstage tour of the player’s locker room at the coliseum.

Alta Bates Summit Medical Center and the Raiders have enjoyed an immensely successful partnership over the last eleven years in the fight against breast cancer. A check presentation will occur on the field just before the November 2nd game between the Raiders and the Atlanta Falcons.

Show your Raider's spirit and buy a pink Raider cap. The caps are $25 and available at all Volunteer Gift Shops at Herrick, Alta Bates, Merritt and Providence campuses. Proceeds will benefit The Carol Ann Read Breast Health Center.
