I am so excited to be a Captain for the Blue Team in my THIRD YEAR with BVB Dallas! I am honored to represent my team, this amazing organization, and the millions in the country affected by Alzheimer's Disease. It is truly going to take a team effort to TACKLE ALZ!

BvB Dallas is a young-professional organization that hosts a powder-puff football game for a day of fun, fellowship, philanthropy and enjoyment as a way of raising money for Alzheimer's research and awareness. Founded by sisters whose father was afflicted by Alzheimer's, BvB is a personal way for young professionals across the country to raise awareness, funds and support to TACKLE ALZHEIMER'S FOREVER.

Every 65 seconds someone in the US is diagnosed, and 5.7 million Americans are currently living with this disease. This number is expected to rise in coming years. By giving to BvB Dallas, you are giving directly to beneficiaries in the DFW area who provide care to those affected and are making amazing strides in research. Without you, their work could not continue.

COVID-19 completely turned our world upside down last year, but despite the challenges (our game was cancelled), we were able to press forward to raise a QUARTER OF A MILLION DOLLARS for the cause. Personally, I was able to raise $7,400 because of the amazing generosity and philanthropic spirit of those around me...TexAgs and Aggies in general providing about 99% of that! With your help, we were able to fund our two amazing beneficiaries....UT Southwestern and The Senior Source.

Today, I am asking you for you to join our winning team and help with something that is very important to me, BvB Dallas. Whether you are able to donate $5 or $500, I would love your support in my continued fight against Alzheimer's Disease. Our beneficiaries need your help now more than ever. The fight isn't over and BvB Dallas won't stop until we've hit the endzone.

In 2021, we are hoping to get things back on track. This year, we will be back in the Cotton Bowl on August 7, 2021 playing our flagship football game! Your donation of $25 or more gets you a seat at the game and to enjoy a night of fun and celebration in getting closer to the goal of eradicating Alzheimer's Disease.

As always, my goal is to honor those who have been affected by Alzheimer's Disease. I'll be playing with my Grandpa Cliff's name on my arm, but also want to honor your loved one. With your donation, please let me know who you want me to play for and I'll ensure their name makes it on my arm for game day. This game is ALWAYS for them.

Thank you for all of your continued support!

This year's platform is a little different. We're on GiveButter, but the process is pretty much the same. If you feel more comfortable giving via Venmo, feel free to donate by sending to @TawnyAlonzo. I will make sure it is applied to our overall fundraising. Please click the link below to give!!!

For those who want to know where your donation goes, I have an exciting announcement. We have selected our beneficiaries this year and we are supporting FIVE amazing groups who are doing great work in the Alzheimer's community. Please read more below and consider donating to this incredible effort which will make great stride in easing the lives of those currently fighting their battle (and helping those caring for them), as well as ensuring we get closer to getting rid of this thing altogether.

I am still far from my overall goal of $5000. Let's do this together!

Our successful golf tournament last week raised over $80K towards the cause. Personally, I'm still $1500 away from my 2021 fundraising goal. Can you help me get closer today?

As evidenced in this article, we could be inching closer to some significant milestones in stopping this disease once and for all:

We had our first real practice since 2019 this week and, wow, did it feel great! No more COVID restrictions hanging over our head, just the opportunity to get out and do what we love.

I am $810 away from my summer fundraising goal and want to close that gap. Can I get $100 closer today? As an organization, we have raised $140,000 of our $350,000 goal. Many of you have contributed to that and I am so thankful. Help me keep it up!

Getting to lead my team as Captain is a huge honor for me this year. We have raised $157,000 towards our $350,000. I'm about to fire up my car to drive for Uber Eats again....all wages and tips I earn will go straight to BvB Dallas and our mission to tackle Alzheimer's.

Can you help me get closer to my goal of $5,000? I'm $785 away and only 2 months until game day on August 7th. This summer will be an extremely busy one for me as we get back into the groove of things post-COVID.

I will be so grateful for any donations you can muster to get us closer to our game day goal. I could not do what I do without the power of TexAgs. As always, let me honor a loved one you've lost to (or is still fighting) Alzheimer's Disease. I want to wear their name with pride as we lace up to play in the Cotton Bowl.

Thanks and Gig 'em,

BlueAg2003

Happy Monday all! I had to up my goal as we've had some changes this year (lost a few team members, etc). I'm looking to get to $7k by August 1. Thats $1400 in a month, which is extremely aggressive, but I won't stop until I get there.

Please consider giving to some really awesome beneficiaries making life better for so many with Alzheimer's Disease. Any amount helps.
