The Limelight: Blondes vs Brunettes Raise Funds for Alzheimer’s Association Dallas Chapter

Blondes vs. Brunettes (BvB) is an event that started in Washington D.C and Houston, TX and spread to Dallas for its inaugural debut in August 2008. The girls’ competitive football game brings together friends, families and supportive spectators all in hopes of promoting fellowship and philanthropy for the benefit of the Alzheimer’s Association. For those who don’t know, it’s not just a dainty game of damsels frolicking about. It’s competitive, it’s intense… it’s Texas football at its best.





Blondes vs. Brunettes Dallas serves as an important fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Dallas Chapter. As part of a nationwide network of chapters, the Dallas Chapter provides help and hope to over 50,000 individuals – including those diagnosed, their families and caregivers, facing the daily challenges of Alzheimer’s. BvB Dallas also supports the mission of the Alzheimer’s Association, to eliminate Alzheimer’s through the advancement of research on a National level.

The 3rd annual Blondes vs Brunettes powder-puff football game held on August 14th was another huge success with a great turnout despite the brutal Texas heat. This year, 75 young women competed in the game. Although both teams played maintaining good sportsmanship for a worthy cause, the blondes walked away with a “three-peat” victory. This year’s game day event as well as other fundraisers held leading up to the big game contributed to BvB’s success in raising a whopping $200,000 for Alhzheimer’s research and awareness.
