On Saturday, October 7, nearly 4,000 participants enjoyed perfect Florida weather for the fifth annual Bucs Care Treasure Chests Finish at the 50, powered by Jabil. The annual event has become an October tradition for the Buccaneers and helps kick off the NFL's A Crucial Catch: Intercept Cancer initiative in support of the team's commitment to raise funds for patient services and breast cancer research in the Tampa Bay area. This year's event, led by Glazer Family Foundation Co-President Darcie Glazer Kassewitz, featured the fan-favorite 5K, a new 1-Mile Fun Run and a 10K, with every participant running out of the tunnel and through the 50-yard line at Raymond James Stadium.
