Natalie Ford and Sarah Hilliard take the field as Team Captains for Team Blonde against Leane Ledbetter and Liz Zuniga, Team Captains for Team Brunette, for the 2019 Blondes vs. Brunettes® flag football game to increase awareness and funds for the Alzheimer’s Association California, Central Coast Chapter. The teams square off on the football field at Garden Street Academy on Saturday, July 20.
Last year’s fifth annual event was incredibly successful, generating more than $90,000 with the Santa Barbara game having 82 players, practice squad members and coaches.
“Playing for Blondes vs Brunettes is special,” said Leane. “We practice, we fundraise, we do outreach and then come together on game day with one common goal: play as hard as we can in honor of our loved ones who could not win their battle. We unite for those we’ve lost and to raise money to end Alzheimer’s!"
