On To Vegas - Flag Football National Championship

Hi, and thanks for checking in!

I'm Chris Laurion, and this is my flag football team. These outstanding young athletes have played flag football in the Tri-Cities community for 12 seasons, including YMCA, NFL Play 60, and NFL Flag. I have had the pleasure of coaching them and others for 15 seasons in that timeframe.

This team has gone undefeated for the last five seasons, capping off the previous two with division championships. In recognition of their efforts and success, the Seattle Seahawks have nominated our team to represent the Seahawks and Washington State in the NFL Flag Football National Championship, to be held in Las Vegas during the Pro Bowl. This is an incredible honor, and the team couldn't be more motivated to go head-to-head with the nation's best players.

Our team is raising funds to support our trip and help these kids capitalize on this fantastic opportunity. The team will fly two coaches and ten players to Las Vegas for the duration of the tournament activities. Any donations will be used to cover travel costs, accommodations, rental car fees, and meals for the team. Any funds above and beyond what's required will be used to maximize our readiness for the tournament, such as renting practice space during the winter and purchasing any equipment or materials necessary to support the team's development.

If you want to see the kids in action, watch some of their YouTube footage at Dad's Always Doing Something. We'll be sure to post some videos of the tournament when all is said and done, so don't forget to check back.

Thank you so much for any support you can provide, whether monetary or just words of support and encouragement. It means the world to me, my coaches, and our players.
