A group of ladies will gather together in the cold on Sunday, Feb. 3, to play in the fifth annual Milford Daisy Bowl ladies only two-hand touch football tournament at the Academy Field at 150 Gulf St. in Milford. The tournament, running from 9 a.m. to noon, will raise funds for the Get in Touch Foundation, a Milford-based nonprofit committed to providing breast health education to people around the world.
Men and kids are encouraged to attend and cheer on the ladies as they compete for the title of Daisy Bowl champion. There will be opportunities to participate in sideline games also being held to raise funds for GIT.
Players can register at eventbrite.com/e/milford-daisy-bowl-db5-tickets; event sponsorships are available. To sponsor, contact Shaileen Landsberg at shaileenwrites@gmail.com.
The Daisy Bowl is the brainchild of Josie Giglione Williams of Illinois, and games benefiting the Get in Touch Foundation are held around the country. Milford’s event is organized by the Milford Daisy Bowl Committee, led by Shaileen Landsberg and Cathy Lang. It’s the country’s largest and has raised over $9,000 for the Get in Touch Foundation since the tournament started in 2015.
