Football FrenXI for Autism Speaks

Today, and during the rest of the week, look for Alpha Xi Delta ladies wearing blue and gold t-shirts with this design to bring awareness to our upcoming philanthropy event, Football FrenXI.

This Sunday, September 19, we will hold the first all-male flag football tournament to raise money for Autism Speaks! 

There will be food and drinks available to participants and spectators. We will also raffle off an autographed football signed by Coach Tom Osborne. You do not have to be present to win.

Autism Speaks is a national organization dedicated to finding the missing piece to the cure for Autism. Autism is the fastest-growing developmental disorder in the United States, affecting 1 in 110 children and 1.5 million people nationwide. Together, Alpha Xi Delta and Autism Speaks hope to raise awareness, increase support and collect the resources necessary to find a cure.

Football FrenXI will take place at the East Campus fields from 12:30 to 4:30. Registration for Football FrenXI continues through Friday, September 17, and we would love to have as many teams as possible to support children with Autism. Each team should have 8-10 men, and the team registration cost is $50. Although men will play in the tournament, we invite everyone to cheer on our teams and support Autism Speaks.

Let the FrenXI begin!
