CHARLOTTE – The Carolina Panthers Challenger Flag Football program recently celebrated the conclusion of an 11th successful season with a jamboree on the Panthers practice fields for the growing list of participants.
From a single partnership between the Panthers, Mecklenburg County Park & Recreation and Pop Warner in 2005, the program is now thriving in six markets across the Carolinas. The program provides children and young adults with physical and developmental disabilities with the opportunity to play in a structured flag football program that includes Spirit Squad cheerleading. Carolina Panthers Charities provides grant funding so the league can be offered at little or no cost to participants.
