To participate in the 8th Annual Football Fundraiser, there is a $20 entry fee per participant. 

Enthusiastic kids in grades 3rd through 6th are invited. Both boys and girls are welcome!

There will be a one-hand touch football tournament, featuring randomly selected teams of 4 to 6 players, who will compete in a double elimination format. Every player is guaranteed at least 2 games! Teams will be divided based on age and skill level to keep things fair and fun. Players are encouraged to dress for the weather and bring their game-day energy.

At the heart of this event is the opportunity to give back. One hundred percent of entry fees go to the winning team, with funds being divided equally among the players.  Each player on the winning team will then be awarded a check to donate to the charity of their choice.  Families are encouraged to talk with their children ahead of time about the causes that matter to them—whether it’s something personal, tied to family history, or simply a passion that they want to support.

In addition to the football tournament, there will be a long toss cornhole throw open to both the kiddos and the adults. Winners of the long toss cornhole throw will take home 50% of the prize pot, with the remaining proceeds going to the charity of their choice.

Throughout the day, food and beverages will be available for purchase, with all proceeds benefiting the St. Joseph Food Program. This is a Menasha-based nonprofit dedicated to supplementing nutritional needs for economically distressed families in our local communities.

They will also be hosting a basket raffle, with tickets available for purchase. Plus, for every three food items donated, you’ll receive a free raffle ticket! Raffle proceeds will support the Chailei Timm Family. Chailei is a sweet, bright, smart, and kind 9-year-old girl, who is currently hospitalized in the PICU with STEC and HUS.

Families are encouraged to bring chairs and blankets to relax in as they cheer on the players! Please note that the tournament is subject to cancellation in the event of severe weather.

To RSVP, please text Jessie Hartjes at (920) 205-8546.

Last year, despite the cold and wet weather, 39 kids participated and helped raise an incredible $4,505! Let’s see if we can top that total this year and make this year’s fundraiser the best one yet!
