Event Program
Thank you to all who have helped to make Powderpuff Football happen again this year after a year off in 2020–21. Past events have combined to raise more than $15,000 for various charitable organizations and causes. As in previous years, 80% of the proceeds from the $3 suggested entrance donation will be donated to the St. Boniface Food Pantry, with the other 20% going to the Class of 2022 fundraising account.
As a school-sponsored event, organizers expect displays of appropriate and positive sportsmanship on the field by student players/coaches as well as by spectators and guests. Many people have put in numerous volunteer hours to help to ensure that this event is able to continue and be a safe and enjoyable experience. Thank you for coming and enjoy the evening!
