They call themselves brothers and that was never more true than Wednesday night.

Patrick Patterson, Perry Stevenson and Ramon Harris sat along side Mark Krebs at the Paul Mitchell hair salon signing autographs to raise money to help Krebs' mother in her fight against breast cancer.

Hundreds of true blue fans lined up to get the autographs and all together, the players raised $7400 for their teammate's mother.

Krebs didn't tell his mom about the fund raising efforts until Tuesday night.

"She always has the same reaction as far as when people try to help her," said Krebs.

"She's got that attitude where I don't need to be helped, I'm fine, you don't need to do that, I don't want to burden anybody but the fact is, I see that she could use it. As far as her fight against breast cancer, she doesn't need to be worried about finances and everything like that and anyway people want to help I'm grateful as heck. I'm glad people are helping and I'm so thankful and it's so special here tonight. It's unbelievable."
