🏈 Touchdown… Guns Down! 🏈
Our youth deserve opportunities, positive role models, and safe communities. That’s exactly what Touchdown Guns Down is all about.
Join us on Saturday, July 18, 2026, at Lancaster Park in Lexington Park, Maryland, for a day dedicated to empowering our youth through football, mentorship, and community engagement.
The day begins with a Youth Skills Event led by Coach DJ and Coach Pudge, where young athletes can sharpen their football skills while learning the importance of discipline, teamwork, and leadership. The excitement continues with the SMFFL All-Star Game as the league’s top players take on our First Responders in a game that celebrates unity and strengthens the bond between our community and those who serve it.
In addition to football, attendees will have access to valuable community resources, including:
🔒 Gun locks and gun safety information
❤️ Health and wellness resources
🏃 YMCA information
🍽️ Food and refreshments
This event is proudly presented by Grinding Academy and Reach Back & Lift 1, in partnership with the St. Mary’s County Health Department, Knights to Kings SoMD, Chi Nu Nu Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., and other community partners who are committed to creating safer neighborhoods and brighter futures for our youth.
Together, we can make a difference—one child, one family, and one community at a time.
