Forty-two high schools in Georgia – including Apalachee in Barrow County, East Jackson, and North Forsyth – will receive grants from the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation to launch girls’ flag football programs. The full list of schools can be found here.
As part of that commitment, Blank’s Atlanta Falcons are hosting the Atlanta Falcons High School Showcase in partnership with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and the Women’s Flag Finals Championship Game on May 9-10 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Two hundred young women will have the opportunity to demonstrate their skills in front of NAIA, NJCAA coaches and NCAA representatives, offering them a potential pathway to pursue their passion at the collegiate level.
