The Legends Alumni Classic will be celebrating its four-day long charity weekend in Miami from Friday, June 24th through Monday, June 27th, 2011. This weekend of events will include a VIP Welcome Reception (June 24th), Youth Football & Cheerleading Clinic and Community Health Fire (June 25th), Alumni Flag Football Game (June 26th) and a Rivalry Golf Tournament (June 27th). Over 10,000 spectators including V.I.P’s, event sponsors, sports legends, current professional players, and of course the fans are expected to be in attendance throughout the four day festivities.
The Legends Alumni Classic is a charity weekend that was created to allow former collegiate alumni athletes an opportunity to compete in friendly competition against their ultimate collegiate rival while raising funds to support local charities in their community. The charity weekend will bring over 100 former collegiate talented alumni players from Florida State Seminoles and University of Miami Hurricanes back once again to settle the score on the field. The matchups of these two teams are considered as the most anticipated game in all of college football. Former and current players that have been invited to attend this event include Antonio Cromartie, Warrick Dunn, Edgerrin James, Peter Warrick, Anquan Boldin, Santana Moss, Charlie Ward, Gerald Daphnis, Leon Searcy, Reggie Johnson, and many more…
The Legends Alumni Classic is more than just celebrity athletes and football; it is about giving back to the local community and extending a hand to children in need. In its first year, the proceeds of the weekend will benefit several charities including the Boys & Girls Clubs of Tallahassee and Miami-Dade, the non- profit charity that inspires and enables youth to realize their full potential as productive, responsible and caring citizens.
