About Powder Puff!

I'm so excited to be once again coordinating Powder Puff at Bloomfield High School this year.  This event is held every October in order to raise awareness and money for the local Cathy Lincoln Memorial Breast Cancer Research Fund of San Juan County, New Mexico.  At Bloomfield High School we turn this into a week of awareness and reflection for the students, and have a ton of fun in the process. This fall, we will hold the 4th annual game to benefit a great charity.  With each year, we have raised more and more money for the Cathy Lincoln Memorial Fund and we hope to do so again this year.

Students volunteer to help plan out this event and meet each week.  We will have the same basic structure as last year:

• Powder Puff Spirit Week
• Powder Puff T-shirt Sales
• Powder Puff Hat Day
• Win a chance to pie a teacher in the face for $1 
• Powder Puff Pep Rally with events for players, coaches, and teachers
• Powder Puff Raffle Prizes (at game)
• Powder Puff Flag Football game, complete with male cheerleaders

In the first two weeks of class, Jr. & Sr. students signed up to play on the team and voted for their captains. Captains are in charge of acquiring uniforms, holding practices, and soliciting help from some football players to be their coaches. 

I am excited to get students involved and motivated to help plan this event to make it better than ever!
