Blondes vs. Brunettes
Powder Puff Football Game
Saturday, June 1, 2013
Columbus Commons

Pregame Activities:  1:00PM / Kickoff: 2:00PM


 

 

WHAT IS BVB?
Blondes vs. Brunettes is the Powder Puff Football sensation that has raised over $1.5 million nationally for the Alzheimer’s Association to help fight Alzheimer’s disease.

In 2010, Columbus native Laura Hawk-Quinn, wife of former Ohio State Buckeye standout AJ Hawk and sister to former Cleveland Browns player, Brady Quinn, helped organized the event in Columbus. The event was a huge success in terms of raising awareness and funds to support the Alzheimer’s Association’s FREE programs and services for the more than 24,000 affected in Central Ohio as well as research to find a cure. We’re back and ready to continue the fight!
