Football: Tonight's Briar Woods vs. Broad Run Game is a Battle for a Better Cause in Honor of Cameron Carter

(Aug. 31, 2012) - Tonight's Briar Woods vs. Broad Run high school football game, featuring a match-up of rival schools that have combined for the past four VHSL Division 4 state titles, is also a Battle for a Better Cause as the two schools have linked up to raise funds for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation in memory of Cameron Carter.

Carter, the daughter of former Washington Redskins Tom and wife Renee Carter, and sister of Briar Woods High School standout football player Alex Carter, who graduated in June and is now playing at Stanford, passed away earlier this year. She was an 8th grader at Stone Hill Middle School.


Fans are encouraged to wear white to the game tonight, and both schools have been selling $10 Battle for a Better Cause t-shirts. Proceeds from the t-shirt sales will be given to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation via Cam's Light, a fund which was started in her honor.

Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. tonight. Broad Run booster's club president Fred Reitzel is asking fans to carpool as parking spaces will go fast and a standing room only crowd is expected.
