Our flag football tournament is dedicated to Coach John Turner, who was diagnosed with Early-onset Alzheimer’s 8 and a half years ago. Coach Turner was a youth football coach in Ridgefield for 13 years. He instilled characteristics, such as toughness and courage, into hundreds of youth football players. Throughout his battle these past 8.5 years, he has embodied those values with an unmatched spirit.

This event aims to give the people of Ridgefield and Fairfield County an opportunity to show how grateful they are to have had such a great coach serve their community.

In addition, all proceeds will be donated to Cure Alzheimer’s Fund (CAF). Researchers are battling daily to find a cure to help millions of Americans and they need all the support and funding to do so. Last year, we raised $8,000 for CAF.

We ask you to join us -December 22nd- for some great football, food and fun. Event highlights include:

– Double elimination flag football tournament at Tiger Hollow
-Food & Drink Offerings from several local vendors
– 50/50 raffle
– All participants receive the 2024 Coach Turner Holiday Classic T-Shirt
