Rivals Reunite for a Fourth Year to Put a Stop to Alzheimer's 

After the Brunettes redeemed themselves in an overtime win last year, the Blondes will be eager to get back on the field and attempt to reclaim the glory. This fun, yet competitive event features women of all ages and athletic abilities who fundraise for the privilege to play.

Each year the teams not only give the fans a fun and competitive game to watch, these players and coaches, and now the dance team, also prove their passion for the cause through their amazing fundraising efforts. This year will be no different as they ‘go for the goal’ in trying to reach their highest fundraising total yet, $45,000. 

Online registration will open on May 1, 2012. See below for team member details. For more information now or to be added to the BvB email updates list, contact Nicole at nicole.clifford@alz.org or 913.831.3888. Also, be in the know about the 2012 BvB Game by joining us on Facebook.
