Nate Wiggins has hit the ground running on and off the field.
The team announced that the Baltimore Ravens rookie cornerback has been named the Week 5 NFLPA Community MVP.
As part of his “Wiggs For Warriors” initiative, Nate Wiggins and his foundation donated wigs & set up personalized styling for 35 breast cancer patients and survivors during a special #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth event at the @Ravens stadium.

Wiggins partnered with the American Cancer Society and the Susan G. Komen Foundation to celebrate the NFL’s Crucial Catch initiative by providing a spa day at M&T Bank Stadium.
“There’s just a lot of people I know that have battled cancer in the past,” Wiggins said. “I just wanted to help the community and the ladies with breast cancer.”
“Thank God for these wonderful people who are taking time out of their busy schedule to come and make us feel really good,” cancer survivor Dozetta Lewis said. “I want to thank them very, very much.”
The event in the Ravens’ locker room also included makeovers, massages, a make-your-own-flower bouquet, food, and the chance to hang out with the players.
Through Wiggins’ Wiggs Worldwide Foundation, each woman received a custom-fitted wig. The event was part of Wiggins’ “Wiggs For Warriors” campaign, which aims to donate 200 wigs to those impacted by breast cancer in his hometowns of Atlanta and Baltimore.
In winning the Community MVP, the NFLPA will make a $10,000 donation to Wiggins’ foundation or charity of choice.
Wiggins is the fourth Raven to earn the award, following Torrey Smith (2014), Justin Forsett (2016), and Brandon Williams (2016).
