JOHN CARRIGAN ROTARY SOUTH ALL-STAR CLASSIC
Is scheduled for December 7, 2005

SW Florida College and Rotary South are the proud coordinators

John Carrigan loves football. This love inspired him to establish All-Star Football to recognize outstanding players through his own brand of support and fund raising. The money raised supports programs and scholarships that would otherwise not be available in Lee County. The game also provides local high school football players the opportunity to showcase their talents to college recruiting scouts.

The original game of Lee County All-Star Football (still tagged as "North vs South") was the first organized county-wide game in the state. Games are held the evening before holiday vacation, and attendance is still growing! Since the first all-star game in 1989, five other counties have begun All-Star programs of their own.
