Blondes vs. Brunettes (BvB)
No, it’s not about who has more fun. It is about a wonderful event to raise money for Alzheimer’s Disease. Blondes vs. Brunettes or BvB is a national powder puff flag football game that pits blondes vs. brunettes. The event which began in 2005, has raised more than $1 million. Event co-chair, Kristin Crandall says, “Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death and is striking people as young as 50, and BvB is a way to involve young women with close connections to loved ones with this disease.” Ladies over 21 can play on the team that represents their hair color. Redhead? Choose either team! It’s happening at 2 pm at Sweet Home High School in Amherst. $20 covers the entry fee and after game party (4:30-8:30 pm) at Ellicott Creek Fire Company. Free food, raffles and photos with the winning team and a free drink are included. Under 12? It’s free! For information call 716-880-7764 or visit www.bvbbuffalo.com.
