American Way Smokehouse Presents
Luau Night
Good Food • Live Music • Community • Purpose
Your support helps provide training, uniforms, equipment, travel opportunities, tournaments, and future league development for Elijah Lee Elite Girls Flag Football.
Luau Night is more than a night out.
It is a community fundraiser built around good food, live entertainment, and creating real opportunities for girls through the continued growth of Elijah Lee Elite Girls Flag Football.
American Way Smokehouse is helping lead the night by directing 10% of event proceeds toward the ELE program.
Those funds help us continue building opportunities for young athletes through competitive training, team development, uniforms, equipment, travel, tournaments, future camps, combines, league opportunities, and continued athlete development.
Our immediate focus is helping build a competitive girls flag football team with opportunities to travel, compete, and experience high-level flag football outside our local area.
We also want to continue providing professional training opportunities for girls in our community, including training sessions led by Elijah Lee and access to future ELE development programs.
This event is about more than football.
It is about:
Confidence.
Opportunity.
Mentorship.
Community.
And showing young women that people believe they are worth investing in.
ONE NIGHT. ONE MISSION. OUR GIRLS.
