BvB Dallas Charity Football Game Tackles Alzheimer's Research

The Mission to Tackle Alzheimer's

• 🎯 BvB Dallas is a charity flag football game with the core mission to tackle Alzheimer's disease.
• 🤝 The organization, founded in 2008, brings players together who have been personally affected by Alzheimer's, creating a community of support and shared purpose.

Personal Journeys and Motivation

• 💔 Neo Beckham joined BvB Dallas two weeks after her father's passing, finding solace and support from the team after her father's diagnosis with vascular dementia.
• 👵 Another player lost her grandmother to Alzheimer's in 2019, making the cause a natural fit for her involvement.
• 🏈 For some, the journey to BvB Dallas began with a simple Google search for flag football, leading to unexpected opportunities and a new perspective on the sport.

Beyond the Game: The Real Purpose

• 💰 While a flag football game, BvB Dallas is not just about the game; it's primarily about raising money for Alzheimer's care and research.
• 🗣️ The hardest part of dealing with Alzheimer's is losing the ability to have conversations and hear loved ones' stories, a sentiment shared by many players.
• 🌟 The game itself is described as the "icing on the cake," with the true focus being on the fundraising efforts.

Impact and Call to Action

• 📈 Since its inception, BvB Dallas has raised over $6.5 million for Alzheimer's Care and Research, funding programs across North Texas.
• 💖 The mission is to ensure that individuals diagnosed with Alzheimer's have a fighting chance and that no family has to lose their loved ones twice.
• 📍 The BvB Dallas game will be held at Bishop Lynch High School, with options to attend in person or watch via streaming. Donations can be made at bvbbdallas.org.
