A Saturday Built on Heart, Hype, and Pure Lions Energy
If you’re a Detroit Lions fan, Saturday wasn’t just another day on the calendar — it was a full-blown 16-hour celebration of football passion and community spirit. Pride of Detroit wrapped up their 2025 Movember campaign with a marathon livestream that kicked off at 8 a.m. ET and didn’t slow down until midnight. And honestly? It was everything you’d want from Lions Nation: laughs, inside stories, friendly chaos, and a powerful cause at the center of it all.
A Cause That Hits Home
This whole marathon wasn’t just for fun — it was a mission. The annual Movember campaign raises funds for the University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center, and as of the kickoff on Saturday, fans had already pushed donations over $19,500. Every dollar matters, and Pride of Detroit poured every ounce of energy into making this final day unforgettable.
A Guest Lineup As Stacked as a Playoff Roster
The stream brought in a steady stream of voices — journalists, legends, survivors, doctors, and diehard Lions personalities. One hour you’re hearing Ben Solak break down a scheme, and the next you’re getting life perspective from Kyle Bobcean, a cancer survivor treated at UM. Sprinkle in appearances from Lions icons like Lomas Brown and Herman Moore, and you’ve got a lineup worthy of a primetime special.
It truly felt like a community huddle — just stretched over 16 hours.
Milestones, Mayhem, and… the Macho Man?
In classic POD fashion, donations weren’t just about funding the cause… they came with delightful chaos. Every fundraising milestone unlocked a new challenge, each more unhinged than the last:
- $10,000 unlocked an attempt to leap into the Ford Field stands like Jared Goff.
- $15,000 sent Jeremy onto a disc golf course dressed as Macho Man.
- $25,000 meant a 30-inch pizza showdown.
- $40,000? The whole POD crew running a 5k.
- $60,000 – Jeremy going full Marilyn Monroe.
- $75,000 – head shaved. No turning back.
This is the kind of chaos Lions fans live for.
Prizes, Giveaways, and Your Chance to Join the Fun
Even viewers got in on the action. Random giveaways popped up all day, and donors could claim rewards like:
- A Pride of Detroit Direct subscription
- A custom POD hoodie
- Even a guest appearance on the PODcast
Plus, the ongoing auction added another way to support the mission.
A Community That Shows Up
Sixteen hours is no small feat — but the Lions community showed up as if it were gameday. The livestream was part football talk fest, part charity telethon, part variety show, and fully Lions family energy.
And at the center? A united push to support cancer treatment, research, and the people who need it most.
