Football 101

press release: Once again this summer, the Wisconsin football program will provide an opportunity to learn the game directly from the Badgers’ coaches and players in a fun atmosphere while supporting the fight against cancer.

Registration is now open for Football 101 Benefitting Women’s Health, with the 10th edition of the always-popular event set for Wednesday, June 26, at Camp Randall Stadium. Football 101 Benefitting Women’s Health is presented by Zimbrick at Fish Hatchery Road.

For the second straight year, Football 101 Benefitting Women’s Health will be held in partnership with the UW Carbone Cancer Center in support of the fight against women’s cancers in Madison and beyond. Last year’s event raised $80,359.

Tickets are $90, with registration open to those age 18 and older. Early registration is encouraged, as the event is likely to sell out. Sponsorship opportunities also are available.

“It’s one of the highlights of the year for our players and staff, and I think they have as much fun with it as the women taking part,” UW head coach Paul Chryst said. “It’s a great feeling for everyone involved to be able to help Carbone make an impact on the fight against cancer right here in Madison. We’re proud to partner with them again.”

Football 101 Benefitting Women’s Health presented by Zimbrick at Fish Hatchery Road includes:

• On-field drills with Wisconsin coaches and players

• Presentations from coaches on the Xs and Os

• Question-and-answer session with current UW players

• Tour of Camp Randall Stadium and UW’s football facilities

• Reception overlooking the stadium featuring hors d’oeuvres and beverages

• Prize drawings

• Appearance by Bucky Badger
