We're honored to spotlight Bradie James, former Dallas Cowboys linebacker and current Dallas Foundation fundholder, for his dedication to breast cancer prevention. Recently, the NFL Foundation awarded him a 2024 NFL Player Matching Grant, directing $5,000 to BarbaraCares’ Mammograms Matter Health Initiative. This grant expands mammogram screenings, reaches new North Texas communities, and enhances impact tracking through advanced data analytics. Through the Bradie James Foundation 56, which he established at The Dallas Foundation in 2007, he has mobilized over half a million dollars for breast cancer screenings and mobile mammography units in Texas and Louisiana. Congratulations, Bradie, on this well-deserved recognition and your unwavering commitment to the fight against breast cancer!
