Lanning Hits the Crossbar for Cancer | Oregon Ducks Football News

Dan Lanning took on Pat McAfee’s $500K challenge for childhood cancer research—and nailed it on his third try, hitting the crossbar from 15 yards out. He matched the feat with a personal $50K pledge, adding to his recent Cameo fundraiser that doubled its goal. The win is deeply personal: his wife, Sauphia, has been cancer-free since 2017, and the family helped design “Heroes” uniforms to honor her fight. After the donation, Lanning turned his focus back to Oregon’s team, stressing the need to eliminate penalties and improve execution—despite being heavy favorites again, he knows consistency is key.
