2009 Oakland Raiders Football 101

ALTA BATES SUMMIT MEDICAL CENTER & THE OAKLAND RAIDERS TEAM UP TO SCORE "On the Field"

The Oakland Raiders and Alta Bates Summit Foundation hosted the 12th annual ‘On the Field’ - Football 101 event at the Oakland Coliseum on Saturday, October 24. It was an exciting and unique afternoon of fun -- raising funds to benefit breast cancer screenings for low-income women in the community through Alta Bates Summit’s Markstein Cancer Education and Prevention Center.

The afternoon started with a barbeque lunch and then a short program with Raiders CEO, Amy Trask. Attendees were introduced to Raiders Legends: Robert Jenkins, Jeff Barnes and Vance Mueller. They also had a treat by meeting and taking photos of Raiders players and coaches: Head Coach Tom Cable, Adam Henry, Chris Johnson, Mario Henderson, Johnnie Lee Higgins and rookie, Louis Murphy, who spoke about his mother’s experience with breast cancer. Twelve special NFL pink ribbon footballs were given out to guests and benefit drawing winners were: Alfredo Ruvalcaba, Regene Ross, James Crinnon and Greg Crumbo.

Oakland Raiders players and coaches taught the ins and outs of the game – right on the Raiders playing 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 and the Raiders have enjoyed an immensely successful partnership over the last 12 years in the fight against breast cancer. A check presentation will occur on the field just before the November 15 game between the Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs.
