The 2024 Touchdowns for Education Team is being drafted.

This year, the team will work together to support the Community Scholarship Fund through the Davie Community Foundation. The fund created from community donations supports high school seniors and college students.

“At the Davie Community Foundation, we believe a college education is one of the most important touchdowns”a young person can score,” said Jane Simpson, foundation CEO. “We hope you will want to be part of the 2024 Team.”

Kickoff for 2024 Touchdowns for Education game is 7 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 20 at Davie High’s War Eagle Stadium as the War Eagles take on the Reynolds Demons. The game plan is for local sponsors to join the team. For every War Eagle touchdown scored, the sponsors each contribute $100 to the Community Scholarship Fund. Each team member agrees to a minimum contribution of $200 with a maximum commitment of $500.

“With this game plan, we all win,” Simpson said. “As a team member, you or your business will be recognized in the Enterprise-Record and will receive press coverage by game announcers on the night of the game. Don’t miss your chance to act as a quarterback for these young players to score additional education. To join our all-community team, fill out the online form at www.daviefoundation.org by Sept. 13 so we can include you in our promotional materials.

“It’s all about teamwork. It’s all about our community. Together we can score the most significant touchdown, a chance for students to get the education needed for a better future,” she said.
