We’re officially less than one week away from the First Annual Blondes v. Brunettes showdown for the Alzheimer’s Association.

And Team Blonde is ready. We had a great practice this week, followed up with a great dinner and evening of drinking. One of the best parts of BvBCLE – meeting new Cleveland young professionals and making new friends. In fact, I’m hoping to keep playing with some of our team in the fall in a co-ed league. How much fun will that be?

Some of Team Blonde

Friday, both the Blondes and the Brunettes joined forces with our coaches to raise additional funds for the Alzheimer’s Association at Barley House. After a long week, I headed over to Barley House, met up with some coworkers and some teammates, enjoyed drinks and got to hang out with friends. Not only that, but Team Blonde had a serious huddle at the bar and we have something big up our sleeve for Saturday’s game. Just you wait. (p.s. Make sure to check out Julie’s awesome recap from Friday night).

Teammate and friend @LMeggas makes me laugh so hard!

Team Blonde!

Sunday’s practice was filled with more plays, laughter and of course, making sure our outfits and TD dances are set and ready to go!

Speaking of the game…we need some fans for Team Blonde. $20 gets you into the game plus a drink ticket for the after-game Victory Party at Becky’s Bar. So come out, make some signs in support of our team and enjoy an afternoon of football in the Summer.

Remember – this is all for a good cause. Most of us probably have a family member or friend who has a loved one that has had or current has Alzheimer’s. The funds we raise will help to fund important research to help find a cure for this heartbreaking disease.

Disclaimer: I’m an official BvBCLE Blogger and participating on Team Blonde (my natural and current hair color). As part of Team Blonde, I’m required to attend four practice (check) and raise $250 (check) toward our goal of $25,000. While I’ve reached my goal, I’d love for you to continue to support me in the fight against Alzheimer’s Association. All opinions are 100% my own.
