September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and Alex’s Army has several upcoming events that we would love for you and your family to be a part of! Read about each upcoming event below:
September 7th – Alex’s Army Bowl Games @ Grizzly Sports Complex
10600 Determination Road, Nokesville, VA | 9 AM – 6 PM
Alex’s Army Childhood Cancer Foundation is honored to partner once again with the Gainesville Grizzlies and American Pride Youth Football Leagues for the 4th Annual Alex’s Army Bowl Games! The goal of this event is to help kickoff Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, to raise awareness for childhood cancers, and to honor local families who have fought or are fighting various forms of childhood cancers.
Football players from both leagues, referees, and coaches wear gold ribbons, local children from the childhood cancer community are invited to participate in the coin toss, be honored by the teams before the game, and are showered with gifts from Alex’s Army and both youth football leagues.
We will have a moon bounce and Alex’s Army table set up with merchandise sales, information on upcoming events and how you can join our mission, and more! This year we also will be selling raffle tickets for drawings throughout the day so if you’re at Grizzly for scrimmages – be sure to stop by our table and see us!
