Two teams, divided based on the age-old rivalry between blondes and brunettes, aim to increase awareness of Alzheimer’s disease among a new generation.
 
The Alzheimer’s Association Blondes vs. Brunettes flag football game will kick off at 1:00 p.m. on May 14 at City Stadium at East High School in Green Bay. 
 
Funds raised will benefit the care, support, advocacy and research efforts of the Alzheimer’s Association. 
This is a volunteer event driven by young women, the first Blondes vs. Brunettes game was held in Washington D.C. in 2005. Since then, Blondes vs. Brunettes has expanded to more than 35 cities.
 
According to the Alzheimer's Association 2015 Alzheimer's Disease Facts and Figures, nearly two-thirds of Americans with Alzheimer’s disease are women.
