LANDOVER HILLS, Md. — For this year's 'My Cause My Cleats' campaign, some Washington Redskins players have chosen Wolf Trap Animal Rescue as the charity they want to represent.

Hundreds of NFL players will showcase causes that are important to them with custom cleats during all Week 14 games for the 'My Cause My Cleats' campaign.
"My Cause My Cleats allows players to express their commitment to the causes that are most important to them," a press release said. "Players will have the opportunity to raise money for their cause by auctioning their cleats off at NFL Auction; 100 percent of money raised will be donated to the player’s charities."
Fans can also bid on game-issued player cleats to help raise money for the chosen causes.
