Hosted by the high school's Student Government Association (SGA) along with the R-FH Health Club, the football game features a lineup of freshmen versus sophomores followed by juniors versus seniors.

There will be a $5 admission fee that will benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

"The powder puff game is a guaranteed good time for a great cause, and everyone should come out," said Yannel Maglione, R-FH Spanish teacher and SGA advisor.

Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, unpredictable disease affecting the central nervous system.

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society helps those affected by the potentially disabling disease by promoting cutting-edge research, facilitating professional education, and providing programs and services for MS patients and their families.
