Teamwork is a big part of success in the NFL.
The Chargers are teaming with Susan G. Komen San Diego to kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month, offering free mammograms for women age 40 and up today at Qualcomm Stadium.
Women can stop by the stadium -- at Friars Road and Mission Village Drive -- anytime until 3 p.m. today to get a breast exam and mammogram from Komen's mobile stations.
"They are the first NFL team to do an event like this and because of the Chargers and them really taking action off the field has now launched the NFL and there's other NFL teams that are moving forward to do mobile mammograms just like this," said Flora Hoang, Director of Development for Susan G. Komen San Diego.
Hoang says six women are diagnosed with breast cancer every day in San Diego County. Mammograms can help save lives by providing early detection.
She said Komen can provide a follow-up for women who need it, in order to get the help they can.
More than 700 women came by the station last year to get examined.
