CowBuzz: Cowboys Coaches Participate in #MyCauseMyCleats 2024
The holiday season presents the opportunity to give thanks and give back, which the NFL has made a priority through many avenues over the decades. For the 9th season in a row the NFL initiative My Cause My Cleats allowed players to wear custom cleats to help showcase causes that are important to them, spreading awareness to something that is bigger than football.
The campaign was once again not limited to players as 12 of the Dallas Cowboys coaching staff, including head coach Mike McCarthy, joined by sporting customized sneakers that represented a cause they share a connection with.
Some of the coaches even wore their cleats during the Cowboys' Monday Night game with the Bengals.
Below are the participating members with the cause they picked to represent:
- Mike McCarthy- Trifest for MS
- Brian Schottenheimer- Alzheimer's Association
- John Fassel- Prison Fellowship Angel Tree
- Ryan Feder- Mercy Health Foundation
- Cannon Matthews- ALS Foundation
- Scott Tolzien- Make-A-Wish

- Scott Sehnert- Noah Brave Foundation
- Greg Ellis- Getting My Help
- Jeff Zgonina- The Sol Goldman Pancreatic Cancer Research Center
- Lunda Wells - Sjögren's Foundation

The coaches' participation displays the commitment to excellence that transcends the football field as they aim to create a positive impact on society.
