Watchdog Game

What is it?
A Romeo Bulldog varsity football game devoted to raising awareness and funds to fight cancer.  

When?
Friday, September 18 vs. Fraser

What to expect
Varsity players will raise money to buy a special pink jersey with an honorary cancer survivor/victim's name on the back. This person will also be featured in a special program.  Pink t-shirts will be sold to advertise, raise money, and provide entry into the game.

Why Pink?
Pink has been chosen because it is a readily identifiable color for cancer awareness, most notably breast cancer. But the game is not limited to raising awareness for breast cancer alone. The intent is to provide funds for a variety of worthwhile cancer charities.

What can you do?
You name it!  We are looking for volunteers. The possibilities of this event are endless.  If you are interested in being involved, let us know.

See below for local businesses that are contributing to the cause.
