Tuesday night marked the ninth year the 'Football 101' event was held at Notre Dame Stadium to support breast cancer awareness.

It's just one of the many events the Kelly Cares Foundation holds to support the initiatives of fighting cancer.

This event hits a little more close to home for Paqui Kelly, who is a two-time breast cancer survivor.

Women who attended had the opportunity to show off their football skills with help from the Notre Dame football team.

"It's a really unique setting, in terms of, everybody loves football," said Paqui Kelly. "It's a great opportunity to do some things you've never had the opportunity to do in your days at school. It's about being together and sharing."

"Just the cause behind it and the history that it's had and the weight that it holds in our community," said Notre Dame quarterback Brandon Wimbush on what makes 'Football 101' so special. "It's just a fun evening for us to get out on a summer night and be around the guys and each other so it helps both parties here."

Players also took the time to sign autographs and take pictures with the women in attendance.

All of the money raised Tuesday night goes toward the breast cancer initiative.
