When I learned about TinySuperheroes and saw what these kids overcome, I knew immediately this was the cause I wanted to represent”
— Coach Pat McPherson

SAINT LOUIS, MO, UNITED STATES, December 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- TinySuperheroes, a national nonprofit that empowers children facing medical challenges through superhero capes and community, is honored to announce that Carolina Panthers Tight Ends Coach Pat McPherson has selected TinySuperheroes as his cause for this year’s NFL My Cause My Cleats campaign.
My Cause My Cleats allows NFL players and coaches to showcase a cause close to their hearts by wearing custom designed cleats during Week 13 games, spotlighting missions that create real impact in communities across the country.

Coach McPherson learned about TinySuperheroes earlier this year and felt a deep connection
between the resilience he sees in NFL athletes and the power and courage displayed daily by
children fighting medical battles.

“When I learned about TinySuperheroes and saw what these kids overcome, I knew
immediately this was the cause I wanted to represent,” said Coach McPherson. “Their courage
is inspiring. It is an honor to stand with them.”

TinySuperheroes Chief Empathy Officer Erika Sinner shared her gratitude for this partnership.
“Having Coach McPherson represent our kids is deeply meaningful,” said Sinner. “NFL athletes
battle for every inch on the field. Our TinySuperheroes battle through treatments, procedures,
and the unknowns they never asked for. The heart it takes is the same. The shared mindset of
courage and resilience connects them. To see a Panthers coach lacing up for them reminds
these kids their strength is real and recognized.”

A Design Made With Heart

The custom TinySuperheroes cleats for Coach McPherson are being created using real
TinySuperheroes badges. The same milestone patches earned by children throughout their
clinical journeys. These badges represent courage, strength, and hope, and their inclusion on
the cleats honors the superhero spirit at the core of the mission.

TinySuperheroes and the Panthers are also exploring opportunities to bring joy and connection
to hospitals in North Carolina through visits, cape activations, and a special edition “Keep
Pounding” TinySuperheroes patch that kids can proudly wear on their capes.
A Movement Bigger Than a Game

TinySuperheroes sends capes to children facing illness, disability, or medical battles and
activates hospital programs nationwide that celebrate and support kids with courage, strength,
and hope. Every cape affirms a child’s identity as powerful, brave, and extraordinary.

“We have kids in hospitals watching these games,” said Sinner. “For them to look at the screen
and see a Panthers coach wearing cleats covered with the same badges they have on their
capes is pure magic. It reminds them their strength is real, their story matters, and they are not
alone in their fight.”

Join the Movement

TinySuperheroes invites NFL fans, Panthers Nation, and communities across the country to join
the mission.
