What exactly is a Paper Football Challenge? It's a table-top game, loosely based on American football, in which a plastic triangle is slid back and forth across a table top by two opponents or "flicked" through the goal posts to score.  Here in Tustin it's a way that 44 Tustin area nonprofit organizations and school groups can raise prize and sponsor money!!!

No experience is needed and any age can play! The great news is that teams are able to raise money for their programs through sponsorships and pledges.

BECOME AN EVENT SPONSOR:  Event Sponsors are Tustin's VIPs (Very Important Philanthropists) because their generosity allows the Tustin Community Foundation to support even more nonprofits by awarding fun prizes including loudest fans (a crowd of 500 is expected), most touchdowns, best uniform/costume, and best team spirit. As a FIELD SPONSOR, games will be played on a table located under a banner with the company or personal name! Plus, Event Sponsors will be invited to join our pre-game VIP Breakfast courtesy of Chick-fil-A (17th at Tustin). Of course, besides offering a great local PR opportunity, the company/personal name, with a link back to the business, will be posted on the TCF website for one full year.
