The only sweets Sticky Fingers can't resist is victory and they plan to win against Diabetes.
Diabetes is the condition in which the body does not properly process food for use as energy. When you have diabetes, your body either doesn't make enough insulin or can't use its own insulin as well as it should. This causes sugars to build up in your blood. Diabetes can cause serious health complications including heart disease, blindness, kidney failure, and lower-extremity amputations.
Donations collected by this team will be awarded to the American Diabetes Associaton.

The Heartbreakers are playing offensively against Heart Disease.
Heart disease includes numerous problems, many of which are related to a process called atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a condition that develops when plaque builds up in the walls of the arteries. This buildup narrows the arteries, making it harder for blood to flow through. If a blood clot forms, it can stop the blood flow.
Donations collected by this team will be awarded to the American Heart Association.
Look at any defensive line, sometimes big is better but not in this case - Obesity​ kills.
Obesity is a condition that is associated with having an excess of body fat, defined by genetic and environmental factors that are difficult to control when dieting. Obesity is classified as having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or greater. Obesity increases your risk of developing related conditions such as diabetes, hypertension and sleep apnea, to name a few.

By the time you see this team coming, the damage is already done, just like their cause -
Prostate Cancer.
​Prostate cancer is a form of cancer that begins in the gland cells of the prostate, which is found only in males. Several studies have indicated that perhaps about 80% of all men in their eighties had prostate cancer when they died, but nobody knew, not even the doctor.
Donations collected by this team will be awarded to the Prostate Cancer Foundation.
