It's Austin's Inaugural Gridiron Showdown! In the spirit of the holiday season, we are organizing a toy drive within the Austin tech community benefiting The SmartKids Program at Communities in Schools, a program that creates a safe environment for elementary, middle, and high school students to learn and have fun after school. Our goal is to drive 170 toys, one for each child in the program.

Suggested Toys -
footballs, soccer balls, basketballs, kickballs, jump ropes, frisbees, hula hoops, bike pumps, basketball nets, family board games, art supplies,craft supplies.
How does it work?
There will be two teams with a designated team captain. Players will sign up with a team captain, and each team will acquire "fans" that donate a toy to their team. On event day, there will be two winners, one on the field, one for most toys donated. Winning teams will gain hardcore status and prizes! Hot coffee and breakfast tacos will be provided for fans and players. You're welcome Kurt Bradley.
Teams and Captains -
Kurt Bradley - @kurtbradley of Team Hangry Birds
Alex Stivers - @alexstivers of Team Giggity
After the game, mosey over to The Dogwood (@dogwoodaustin) and enjoy $4 Deep Eddy Vodka and $3 draft beer on both imports and domestics and snacks from The Peached Tortilla from 3:00 - 6:00 PM. At 5:00, we will announce the toy drive winners, so fans, make sure to get your toys to a team before then!
