ATLANTA — Thousands of Delta employees laced up their tennis shoes and rolled up their sleeves on Friday for the annual Delta Air Lines jet drag.
They were also joined by a very special guest: seven-time Super Bowl champ Tom Brady. Last year, Delta and Brady announced a partnership in which Brady plays a strategic role with the airline.
The Jet Drag is a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, and during Friday's event, more than 100 teams competed to see who could drag a 255,000-pound Boeing 757 jet in the quickest amount of time.
Participants also stuck around to cheer on the teams and participate in the Relay For Life walk and booth extravaganza. Brady also posed for photos with the relay teams.

Delta says it has raised over $20 million for the American Cancer Society through the event in the last 22 years.
