Augusta Braves: Semipro football and community involvement for Augusta
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF)- If you’re looking for some football to watch there is the Augusta Braves.
They are a part of an adult developmental league that brings semi pro back to Augusta.
They not only bring the action but also community involvement.
Saturday was autism awareness at the game and the owner says this is about more than just football.
“To see them, bring them young people out here and watch football and interact with the players and run on the field like before the game. That means a lot to us and the players, because even with the players, we all know it’s bigger than football. It’s a lot bigger than football. With the community awareness and a lot of stuff we do during the off season with the resource challenge, young athletes in the area, as well.” said owner John Hales.
The Augusta Braves next home game will be May 9th for cancer awareness.
