Adult Powder Puff Football to Fight Cancer

Crittenden County Quarterback Club is bringing attention to Breast Cancer Awareness with Pink Out Week, Oct. 12-15.

A powderpuff football tournament featuring five local teams will be played Tuesday and Thursday nights at Rocket Arena. Kickoff for both nights is 6 p.m.

On Friday night, survivors will lead the Rockets onto the field when they face Fulton City. Clad in pink accessories, players and coaches will pay tribute to survivors and those who have lost battles with breast cancer, in recognition of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Survivors are encouraged to participate by gathering in the east endzone by Rocket Arena at 7:15 p.m.

Other fundraisers will be going on throughout the week to raise money for local cancer patients, including a silent auction to benefit Jennifer McDaniel Thursday night during the powderpuff games.
