Our Why
This is the second annual NextGen ALZ flag football game. It's a teen-led event raising money for the Alzheimer's Association. What started as a small idea has turned into a growing movement powered by young people who want to make a real impact.
Alzheimer's affects millions of families. Many of our players have personal connections to the disease. This game gives teens a way to turn grief, love, and energy into action. They are learning how to show up, lead, and give back while having fun together.
Our goal this year is to raise $10,000 to support Alzheimer's care, research, and family resources. Every dollar counts and goes directly to the Alzheimer's Association and helps families who are navigating this disease right now.
If you believe in supporting teens, honoring loved ones, and fighting Alzheimer's, please donate and share this page. Your support helps prove young people can make a difference.
We were recently featured by the Alzheimer’s Association https://www.alz.org/blog/2026/more-than-a-game

I am so proud of the young lady you have become. I will never forget how you and your mom came to support my ELG Girlbosses in Bethesda and drive down to Portsmouth to visit The Mustardseed Place and ELG Sweet Boutique. Never stop inspiring 💕
