As the two teams gear up for The Game on November 28, The Junior Leagues of Ann Arbor and Columbus are going head-to-head! We’re taking the rivalry off the field and calling on YOU to help us support our community partners.

The Junior League of Ann Arbor is raising funds to support community partners, including Peace Neighborhood Center and Alpha House, helping local families and individuals experiencing homelessness, food insecurity, and economic instability. The Junior League of Columbus is raising funds for Bridging the G.A.P., supporting foster youth as they navigate important transitions and build brighter futures.

Online donations will be accepted from October 16 through November 16 as part of this joint League effort.

And, of course, there are bragging rights on the line! On the day of the Big Game, the League with the highest fundraising total will claim the Rivalry for a Reason victory.

This is a friendly competition with a shared purpose: supporting neighbors, strengthening communities, and helping individuals and families thrive. Every donation and share helps turn the passion of The Game into lasting community impact!

Join us, spread the word, and help make this rivalry count - for a reason.
