On the Saturday before Super Bowl Sunday, blondes and brunettes – and even a redhead or two – came together to tackle, tussle and take part in trying to defeat Alzheimer’s disease. TackleALZ (formerly Blondes vs. Brunettes) is a volunteer-led female flag football game that raises money for Alzheimer’s San Diego. The event, partnered with Vavi Sport & Social Club, with assistance from Old Mission Bay Athletic Club, played out at the Little Q rugby field next to Qualcomm Stadium with the Green team (Brunettes) beating the Pink squad (Blondes) in a rout, 31-12. But the real winner is Alzheimer’s San Diego, which will receive more than $56,000 raised by players and fans at the annual event. “The TackleALZ San Diego game was an incredible testament to the local dedication and commitment these women have shown over the last year,” said Mary Ball, president and CEO of Alzheimer’s San Diego. “Not only did they play their hearts out on game day, but together they raised more than $56,000 to support San Diego families facing Alzheimer’s disease and advance local research for a cure.” For more information on TackleALZ and Alzheimer’s San Diego, visit http://www.alzsd.org.
