38th ANNUAL
CHARLIE WEDEMEYER HIGH SCHOOL ALL-STAR FOOTBALL GAME

The Rotary Club of Almaden Valley is proud to present the Annual Charlie Wedemeyer High School All-Star Football Game, the Silicon Valley Youth Classic. This year is our 38th year of honoring graduating senior high school football players.

We are currently in the planning stage for the 2012 game. For the upcoming months, the Rotary Club of Almaden Valley will be planning for the 38th Annual Charlie Wedemeyer High School All-Star Football Game. Anybody interested in coming onboard to help in the planning process, don't hesitate to contact us. It usually means fund-raising. The game is to be played at 7:30 pm Wednesday, July 18th, 2012 at San Jose State Spartan Stadium.

For the last two years we have welcomed a new large sponsor, the Army. We still will always be looking for large sponsors in the future and continue to thank all the SPONSORS of the past. We have been blessed with many smaller sponsors that have made this game possible and allowed us to donate to many charities over the past years.

One of the primary charities is ALS. Charlie Wedemeyer has been an inspirational representative and has been a part of the Santa Clara County All-Star Football since 1989. Read all about his story.

Check out last year's Banquet where all the coaches and players were honored. The banquet occurred on Monday, May 16th at the 300 San Jose bowling center. This keynote speaker was Mike MacIntyre. He was introduced by the Master of Ceremonies, Bob Seymour, an Almaden Valley Rotarian. The photos taken by the game photographer, Jerry Costanzo, at the banquet are used for the game program. We had a GREAT crowd!

We have a growing list of ALUMNI. Click HERE to view this list. Two tickets are available to every one of the past participants of the All Star games but you must get in touch with us to be added to the list.
