September 7th, 2019, marked our 4th Annual Alex’s Army Bowl Games at Grizzly Sports Complex and this year proved to be another awesome year. Four honorary local families joined us this year to help participate in the coin toss before the game which is always special not only for the families but for the team captains and referees who get to hear a little bit about our friends’ fight and to help raise awareness that childhood cancer is not rare.
This day is always special because it brings cheerleaders and football players from various leagues together for a much greater cause. It helps to increase compassion and understanding amongst our youth for their peers who are enduring incredibly tough battles everyday.
We love seeing the gold ribbons along the Football fields at Grizzly each year and know how much seeing GOLD means to the kids and families fighting.
Thank you to those who stopped by our tent to learn a little bit more about our mission and why we do what we do.
Thank you to our friends at Amusement of Bouncers for donating the Quarterback Football Toss and for providing the super cool football themed moon bounce.
Thank you to American Pride Youth Football, Gainesville Grizzlies, and to all the teams for GOING GOLD with us to help raise awareness during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month and in honor of families whose lives are forever changed by a childhood cancer diagnosis.
