Omaha Women Take the Football Field to Tackle Alzheimer’s

Who is your biggest RivALZ? For a group of young professional women, it’s Alzheimer’s disease. And they’re asking you to join the fight! These women will take part in the third annual RivALZ Blondes vs. Brunettes women’s flag football game in Omaha to raise funds and awareness for the Alzheimer’s Association (alz.org/Nebraska).

RivALZ Blondes vs. Brunettes is based on the age-old rivalry of hair color. The game is scheduled for Friday, April 28th at Ralston High School. Join the fun early for tailgating from 5:30-7 p.m., including food and games. The four-quarter football game will follow from 7-9 p.m. Come cheer on your favorite team or player, and help end this devastating disease that is the nation’s sixth-leading cause of death. A suggested donation of $10 will be collected at the gate.

Each player is tasked with raising $500 in order to play on game day. All of the proceeds benefit the Alzheimer’s Association to provide free care and support, and advance Alzheimer’s research. If you are interested in playing, there is still time to sign up! Please contact Development Specialist, Megan Myers at mmyers@alz.org. To make a donation today, visit alz.org/Nebraska.
