On Sunday, players across the NFL will be wearing special customized cleats as part of the annual “My Cause, My Cleats” initiative.

Debuting in 2016, the initiative is a culmination of collaborative work between the NFL and players across the league through which more than 800 players plan to raise awareness for individual philanthropic organizations and movements by wearing unique cleats.

A few Patriots shared their personal cleat designs over social media this week.

My cleats, my causes! I’m always particular about my gameday cleats but this weeks are especially meaningful. @underarmour helped me with this custom pair featuring some of my favorite charities and foundations. Follow the link in my bio to place a bid on them, and PLEASE check out each cause individually below. These groups all support people and places that have touched my life in a variety of ways, and it’s important to me to return the favor in any way I can. @tb12foundation @bestbuddies @navysealfoundation @pattillmanfnd @elliefund @thejimmyfund The Robert and Myra Kraft Family Foundation The Tom Martinez Goal Line Fund

I deeply believe in education and I deeply believe in the youth in our society. We should be setting kids up for success which is why this year for the @nfl #MCMC I'm working with @collegebounddot to support neighborhood mentors who can help provide the educational resources and advancement opportunities that remove kids from a cycle of violence helps them to succeed. Gang-related individuals matriculate to college less than 1% each year. The matriculation rate at Boston Uncornered exceeds 70%. The students are responsible for their choices but not for their options so let's give them a fighting chance. #mycausemycleats

I’m honored to be repping the @warriordogfoundation for #mycausemycleats on Sunday! The Warrior Dog Foundation helps transition military dogs back into society through mental and physical rehabilitation. As a proud #dogdad, I couldn’t think of a better cause to bring awareness to!
