On what will surely be a cool, dry and sunny Saturday on Aug. 13, 2011, over one hundred (100) youth tackle and flag football teams from all over Northeast Ohio, thousands of siblings and parents and hundreds of Cheerleaders in their respective Cheerleading Clinics will descend upon the facilities of Brecksville Broadview Heights High School for the Rush for a Cause Family Football Blitz. You will want to Save the date, Saturday, Aug. 13, 2011, for this Fun Family Day, and this worthy Cause.

All proceeds benefit Rush for a Cause, a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization to provide community and financial support for qualified tragically and severely injured athletes, to raise awareness for the need, and to promote injury prevention.

The Blitz weekend will be kicked off, no pun intended, on Friday night, Aug. 12, 2011 with the visiting Highland High School Hornets battling the Brecksville Broadview Heights High School BEES in the Hive, with the Varsity, Junior Varsity and 9th Grade football scrimmages.

This Blitz will be a fun filled family day for all ages with Cheerleading Clinics, inflatable games, Bounce Castle, obstacle course, face painting, dunk machine, rock climbing wall, Silent Auction, 50/50 raffle and many more activities, with plenty of food and refreshments.

Entertainment already booked at this early planning stage, with much more to be scheduled over the following months, includes Cheerleading Demonstrations by Cheer World of Broadview Heights and Ultimate Athletics of Ohio, Victory Strength Team, Infusion Crew, and performances by the St. Ignatius Circus, balloon animals by Jingles the Clown and Lady Bug, Magic by Mr. Zap the Wonder Chap and Big Al The Clown Balloon Artist and Highly Favored Mimes.

The NFL Punt Pass & Kick local competition for both boys and girls, ages 6 to 15 years old will also be a major component of Blitz, and Pre-Registration will start on May 3, 2011 at www.nflppk.com

There is still, for now, plenty of room left for your youth football team, both tackle and flag. As Blitz will definitely fill up to capacity, please don't be left out of this first come, first served event, as field space is limited.

Please proceed promptly to our website www.rushforacause.org and sign up today for either football scrimmages or Cheerleading Clinics for Pre-K to 12th grade seniors, while space is still available and you can get your preferred scrimmage time slot. You can contact Chairperson Jeanie Cunningham at 440-546-0815 or jmcshouse@yahoo.com with any questions.

Numerous volunteers are also needed for this function, so if you are interested in helping this worthy Cause, go to the website and contact the respective Chairperson of the event for which you are interested in helping.

Scrimmage time is free, but voluntary donations of $5 per Adult and $2 per Child will be solicited upon entry, and all such donations will each receive two (2) free game tickets for the day's family fun."
