Varsity Football Game
Additionally, we will be kicking off Breast Cancer Awareness Month at this game. At the end of our pre-game show, we would like to recognize all the courageous people who have survived the disease, currently have it, or are battling along side with a loved one. Everyone impacted by cancer will be invited to join us on the sideline to walk with the captains onto the field for the coin toss.
Everyone attending the game is encouraged to wear the "In this Family no one Fights Alone" t-shirt, a pink colored t-shirt, or their "Annette's Angels" t-shirt.
