IT'S RUMBLING YOUR WAY --
Mark Your Calendar Now to Join Us for the
55th Annual DFRC Blue-Gold All*Star Football Game
Saturday, June 19, 2010
This annual football game is the event that launched DFRC more than fifty years ago. It showcases Delaware’s finest high school students who participate as football players, cheerleaders, band members and school ambassadors.
Each senior participant is given the opportunity to take part in DFRC’s Hand-In-Hand Program. Since its start in 1974, this unique program pairs the senior participants with a "Buddy," a person 4-18 years old with a intellectual disability. The buddies build friendships and learn valuable lessons about diversity and acceptance. The Hand-In-Hand Program is the heart of the Blue-Gold experience.
Many 2009 DFRC and High School Blue-Gold All*Star Game events and activities have online photo albums - click here to view albums.
