NH East-West High School Football Game
What is CHaD? As New Hampshire's only comprehensive, full-service children's hospital, the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth (CHaD) provides an extended system of care that offers advanced pediatric services. CHaD depends on community support.
Why the game? In the fall of 2010, talk began among loyal CHaD supporters about the opportunity to produce New Hampshire's first intrastate, high school football all-star game as a fundraising event for CHaD, the Children's Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock. The goal for the New Hampshire East-West High School All-Star Football Game is to make it more than just a football game. It’s set to be a showcase for New Hampshire's top talent and a tremendous benefit event for CHaD that combines great football with a great cause and creating experiences for players that will last a lifetime.
