Oconomowoc Youth Football "Touchdowns For A Cure"

 
OCONOMOWOC, Wis. - Oct. 8, 2015 - PRLog -- On Saturday October 10, 2015  Oconomowoc Youth Football will hold its first annual "Touchdowns For A Cure" event to raise funds for the Rock River Cancer Research Foundation which support breast cancer research programs such as new treatment options, diagnosis and critical lab research.  One in eight U.S. women (about 12%) will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime and this disease has touched many mothers, grandmothers, and loved ones in our organization.

The day kicks off at 8:30am with a live on the field performance of the national anthem and Oconomowoc American Legion Post 91 performing color guard duties for the 8 Bandits Purple game vs. Kewaskum.

For the final two games of the day, the Rock River Harley Owners' Group from Oconomowoc will form a motorcycle honor guard and rev their engines to create a tunnel of smoke for our players and those from the Muskego Warriors to run through.  We invite ALL current Bandits and Muskego Youth Football players on the field to help form the tunnel and be a part of a very special experience.

Our natural grass field at Ski Slide Park will feature a pink theme at the 50 yard line, all the yard numbers, and the end zones.   In addition, our players will be wearing pink socks and our coaches will be joining many of our fans in wearing our pink "Touchdowns For A Cure" tee-shirt.

At halftime of the final game of the day, the OYF Board of Directors will present a check to Monte Whiteaker, Director, Rock River H.O.G. Chapter #3276 to be given to the Rock River Cancer Research Center.  This check is a result of funds raised from the following activities:

* All sales of the Touchdowns For a Cure tee-shirt

* 50/50 raffles held during each of the eight games

* A donation of $20.00 from Oconomowoc Youth Football for each Bandits touchdown scored during the eight games

* Raffle prizes offered throughout the day sponsored by our 2015 title sponsor, G&W Vendors, as well as Harley-Davidson

* A donation of $200.00 from our friends at Muskego Youth Football
