Crucial Catch: The NFL has partnered with the American Cancer Society for the 15th consecutive season for 'Crucial Catch,' and the Steelers will be taking part in it today when they host the Baltimore Ravens at Acrisure Stadium.

The initiative is designed to bring attention to the importance of early detection and risk reduction, things that can be life saving for individuals who are diagnosed early. Since the inception of the partnership, the NFL has contributed more than $27 million to the American Cancer Society through sales of Crucial Catch branded merchandise, NFL Auction items, and general fundraising.

Steelers players will be supporting the cause when they wear Crucial Catch sideline gear, including hats, hoodies and t-shirts, during the game. The items are available to be purchased on Steelers.com, with a portion of the proceeds going to the American Cancer Society.

It doesn't stop there by a longshot for the team. To kick things off, the team's highly successful 50/50 raffle will benefit cancer charities.

Fans entering Acrisure Stadium will be given a pink Terrible Towel, which will be distributed by UPMC volunteers. UPMC Hillman Cancer Center and UPMC Magee Womens Hospital are the presenting sponsors for the game and UPMC doctors will make a $10,000 check presentation to Cancer Bridges, who are the community organization of the game.

Also, before the game, The Warriors In Pink Quilt will be presented to the Trinity Tony Teramana Medical Oncology Hillman Cancer Center in Steubenville, OH. Family members representing the Teramana Family will receive the quilt on behalf of the center in honor of Albert Teramana, a founder of Team Automotive (Team Ford, Steubenville, OH and Wellsburg, WV) who passed away this summer.

Plenty of support: The National Anthem will be sung by local cancer survivor Curtis Lewis Jr., who will be flanked by local cancer survivors wearing pink t-shirts.

There will be no shortage of support throughout Acrisure Stadium with on-field stencils and goal posts wraps being among the featured items supporting Crucial Catch. Players and coaches will also show their support, from the aforementioned sideline apparel, which will also include pins, gloves, wristbands, sideline caps and other items. The game day poster, program and all communication will be used to support the Crucial Catch program.

The University of Pittsburgh band will perform at halftime and will form a ribbon to show support for those battling cancer.

There will be a 'Black and Yellow for Pink Lemonade Stand' set up on the Gate A Lawn, which raises funds for Breast Cancer Research Fund (BCRF).

Giving back: The community organization of the game is Cancer Bridges. Cancer Bridges supports those impacted by cancer through a variety of free programs and services. Cancer Bridges provides a warm and welcoming environment for everyone who has been impacted by cancer. This includes those with a cancer diagnosis, those who have a loved one with cancer, or have experienced the loss of a loved one due to cancer. The diagnosed, family, friends, and caregivers who support them are welcome to join Cancer Bridges and receive the social, emotional, and informational tools they need.

Twirl the Towel: The Terrible Towel Twirl will be started by Pittsburgh native and Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher, David Bednar. Bednar, who is the Pirates closer, enters the game with 'Renegade' playing.

Minkah Magic: Safety Minkah Fitzpatrick is taking part in a community outreach program in conjunction with the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police, donating tickets to Steelers home games to the Pittsburgh Police for them to take youth in city neighborhoods to games, as well as enjoy a pregame tailgate party inside of Stage AE. The tickets are distributed to different police zones each week, allowing a wide range of kids the opportunity to not only see a game, but spend quality time interacting with the police and getting to know the men and women who are there to protect them.

Honoring a hero: The U.S. Steel Salute to Heroes recipient is SGT. Dustin Davis of the United States Marine Corp and a Pittsburgh Firefighter. He will be accompanied by the IAFF Local #1 Pittsburgh Firefighters Honor Guard. While deployed with the 3rd Battalion 7th Marine Regiment to the very hostile Anbar Province, SGT Davis participated in over 45combat missions.  As a life-long Steelers Fan, Dustin celebrated a successful mission by unfurling a Pittsburgh Steelers banner.

A trip of a lifetime: Earlier this year the Steelers partnered with the Today Show to celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week. As a part of it, a special teacher from Wichita, Kansas is in attendance at today's game.

It all began when students at Northeast Magnet High School surprised LaShay Powell, who is known as 'Ms. Pow Pow,' with a custom Steelers jersey and shared it in a video that went viral on social media. Powell is a lifelong Steelers fan and receiving the jersey brought her to tears.

It went one step further when former Steelers quarterback Kordell Stewart, who is one of her favorite players, joined the Today Show to surprise her with tickets for the Steelers-Ravens game. Powell had met Stewart when she was 12 years old, and he was a quarterback at the University of Colorado. When he was drafted by the Steelers, she instantly became a fan.

Enter early: Acrisure Stadium Management and the Pittsburgh Steelers are reminding fans to enter the stadium early to ensure they will not miss kickoff.

Fireworks, which will be presented by Zambelli Fireworks, will be set off an hour prior to kickoff and 30 minutes prior to kickoff to serve as reminders for fans to enter Acrisure Stadium so they will not miss all of the pregame activities, including Steelers introductions and kickoff.
