Tim Tebow's Pink "Cleats for a Cure"

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Pink cleats. They serve as a poignant way for NFL athletes to raise awareness of breast cancer throughout the month of October. Tim Tebow is one of many athletes who has participated in wearing pink for this purpose, and now he is taking those cleats one step further. For Tebow, the cleats serve as an opportunity to make a difference, and making a difference is something he does best.

In 2010 Tebow formed the Tim Tebow Foundation with a mission to bring FAITH, HOPE and LOVE to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need. This mission is being fulfilled everyday through the building of playrooms in children's hospitals, support for orphans worldwide, building a hospital in the Philippines, and making dreams come true for children with life-threatening illnesses; however for one week, the Tim Tebow Foundation will turn its attention directly towards raising money to find a cure for breast cancer.

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Tim Tebow Foundation in partnership with XV Enterprises will use the foundation's weekly charity eBay auction to auction off a pair of game worn pink cleats that Tebow wore during the Denver Broncos vs. Tennessee Titans game on October 3, 2010.

The auction will be known as "cleats for a cure" and all of the funds raised will go towards finding a cure for breast cancer. The foundation will use the auction to raise awareness and funds for the University of Colorado Foundation for Breast Cancer Research at the Anschutz Medical Campus.

The auction winner will receive the autographed cleats along with an autographed 8' x 10' picture of Tim wearing the cleats. The cleats are rare because they are game worn by Tebow and were custom made by Nike for him as indicated by special designations on the shoes.  

The auction will begin Monday, October 17 and will end Monday, October 24. Don't miss your chance to help find a cure for breast cancer and at the same time own a piece of NFL history.
