Asher’s story
Asher was seriously injured after being struck by a vehicle. Through his recovery he has shown the same toughness he brings to the field every Saturday.
His family is carrying a lot right now, so New Port Richey is doing what it does: showing up. On August 1 we are filling the park with bounce houses, football games, food, and a few hundred neighbors. Admission is free. Bring the kids, wear a jersey, and give whatever you can.

- Bounce houses
- Dunk tank
- Soft play area for little ones
