Blondes vs. Brunettes

press release: Two sides, one team. Blondes vs. Brunettes is the only flag football game in Wisconsin that is volunteer-driven, bringing together young professionals to support the Alzheimer’s Association. Two participating teams are divided based on the age-old rivalry between blondes and brunettes.

Alzheimer’s disproportionately affects women in diagnosis and caregiver roles. An event created and played by women, Blondes vs. Brunettes sends a message of solidarity: We plan to meet this disease with energy and attitude. We are the generation that can provide both the fuel and spark in this fight.

Alzheimer’s does not choose sides. It does not keep score. It does not play fair. On the field we may be Blondes and Brunettes, but together we are united as one team in the fight against this deadly disease.

Who can get involved

Anyone can get involved, no matter your skill level, hair color or gender. Blondes vs. Brunettes is recruiting players, cheerleaders, coaches and planning committee members. Redheads are free agents!

Supporters get involved for our grandparents, parents and ourselves. We play because unless we change the course of Alzheimer’s disease, it will continue to take a devastating toll on families.
