To Everyone
Thank you players, coaches, volunteers, fans and our great crew of officials: Renee, Jane and Mark
The IWFFA – Ptown Classic has received a tremendous amount of support from Provincetown this year. So much so,
we must acknowledge the warmth and love Ptown has given our flag football players and our organization.
From all the businesses, sponsors and also the Provincetown Tourism Fund. There was also much work done by many
of the locals who live here year round: Courtney Paulsen-Martin, Carol Silvestri, Liz Althineos, Maxine Kroll, Cass
Benson, Laura Lenza, Nini Salinas, Suzana Adelbage, Francesca Smith, Michelle Crone, Michelle Jaffe, Jaime
Deluissa, June Maloney, April Kenney, Bank of America and many more individuals who will help with the event after
the printing of this program.
This year we had for the first time our own tournament parade! Thanks to the Provincetown Selectmen for approving
our application, secretary Amanda and special thanks to: Michelle Rizzuto who came to our rescue to afford our police
escort needed to have the parade, for without Michelle, there would be no parade.
Thank You Everyone!
See you next year at the 19th IWFFA Ptown Classic! Dates will be September 5 – 8, 2025
