DraftKings Teams Up with The Larry Fitzgerald Foundation, Turning Picks into Breast Cancer Awareness and Support

Free-to-Play “Pink ‘Em” Pools Are Set to Reach $700K in Donations Since the Program Began in 2019

BOSTON, Oct. 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DraftKings Inc. (Nasdaq: DKNG) announced today that the company will once again join with The Larry Fitzgerald Foundation this October for the Pink ‘Em campaign, through its DraftKings S.E.R.V.E.S program. Since launching the Pink ‘Em campaign seven years ago, DraftKings has raised more than $600,000 through free-to-play, pick ‘em pools available for October NFL Sunday games. With a goal of $100,000 this October, DraftKings is supporting breast cancer awareness and programs that assist women, men, and families that are experiencing the impact of breast cancer.

“DraftKings is built on the passion of our fans, and we’re proud to channel that same energy toward such an important cause during Breast Cancer Awareness Month,” said Matt Kalish, President, DraftKings North America. “With the support of The Larry Fitzgerald Foundation and our dedicated customers, I’m confident we can achieve this October’s $100,000 donation goal and make a difference for the countless families impacted by breast cancer.”

Pink ‘Em free-to-play charity pools will run during Weeks 5 through 8 of the NFL season. Customers can pick winners for each Sunday matchup to compete for a share of $5,000 in weekly DK Dollar prizes. DraftKings will donate $1 per entry for the first 20,000 free entries each week to The Larry Fitzgerald Foundation to fund breast cancer health services and provide assistance to individuals and families impacted by the disease.

“I’m grateful to team up once again with DraftKings and their loyal community of fans who continue to show up year after year for the Pink ’Em campaign,” said Larry Fitzgerald Jr., Founder, The Larry Fitzgerald Foundation. “The generosity from this program has already made a real difference for families facing the challenges of breast cancer, and it means a lot to me personally to see that impact grow. What I love most is that it brings people together. Fans can enjoy the game they love while also helping provide critical support and hope to those who need it most."
