Toms River Pros Vs Heroes Football Game Update!

SEASIDE PARK, NJ — Two months after relentless rain forced organizers to postpone the annual flag football battle on the beach between Toms River's finest and professional athletes, the game is back on the calendar.

The Pros vs. Heroes flag football game to benefit the Toms River Police Foundation now is scheduled for Thursday, July 19, with a 7 p.m. start. (The game had been scheduled for Tuesday but organizers moved it to Thursday due to thunderstorms in Tuesday's forecast.)

The game is presented by the Jay and Linda Grunin Foundation, and Townsquare Media and Downs Ford are sponsors.

Townsquare Media will be giving a pair tickets to see Taylor Swift perform in July at MetLife Stadium. The giveaway will be at the game and you must be there to win. Van Holten’s Chocolates & Sweet Shop will be giving away treats! Crunch Fitness will be hosting a push-up contest.

The field is on the sand in Seaside Park, near 1800 Boardwalk, by The Sawmill.

Meet the players after the game as they will be interacting with the children and signing autographs.
