An NFL 101 workshop for women is taking place Thursday at Everbank Field.

Michaela Bradley, the wife of Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley tells WOKV news proceeds will go toward supporting the survivors of breast cancer. The charity fundraiser includes an interactive workshop designed to teach women the ins and outs of football.
"It allows women to get a little bit of a broader education on the X's and O's of the game and maybe a little bit deeper into some of the referee signals."
She says if you want to learn more about the game and be surrounded by friends and other women it's an event you won't want to miss.
"You will walk away with not only an education, but building relationships with other women around you...to really supporting a great cause. As a league, we honor breast cancer awareness."

There will also be a Q & A session with the Jaguars players as well as a silent auction and interactive 101 class. Proceeds will support "In the Pink" which is a local non-profit dedicated to helping women survive the effects of cancer.

In addition to Thursday's events Bradley says she wants all of the ladies to come to Sunday's game dressed in pink. She says it will be an opportunity to honor breast cancer survivors, their families and friends.
