5th Annual Blondes vs. Brunettes Powder Puff Football Game benefiting the Alzheimer's Association

May 15, 2010 - Noon Kickoff
Skip Lee Field at St. John's School
Houston, TX

Blondes vs. Brunettes is a volunteer-driven event that raises awareness and funds for the Alzheimer’s Association. Two teams of women – divided to reflect the age-old rivalry between blondes and brunettes – compete in a flag football game to help end Alzheimer’s. The participants also recruit coaches, announcers and other volunteers to build an atmosphere of fierce, friendly competition. Leading up to game day, the two teams participate in a series of events to socialize and increase awareness for Alzheimer’s disease.

In the spring of 2006, the Alzies, a young professionals group of the Alzheimer's Association Houston & Southeast Texas Chapter, was established. Since 2006, they have raised over $372,000 for local programs and services in the Houston & Southeast Texas Area. Last year's donations exceeded $132,000, and recruitment is already underway for the 2010 game.
