Pros Vs. Heroes

Pros Vs. Heroes is the brainchild of former NFL Player Darian Barnes. Pros Vs. Heroes is a fundraising platform created to raise money and awareness for charitable organizations.

About Pros Vs. Heroes

The game has former NFL, current NFL, AFL, Legends Football League and other professional athletes travel around the country to play in flag football games against our countries true heroes, Police Officers, Fire Fighters, Armed Forces and EMT personnel. The corporation was created in 2014 and is now expanding to different areas around the United States. Barnes created this organization looking for a way to raise money and give back to communities while having a great time. Playing in a flag football game was the answer and since its first game in June 2014, the program has raised a large amount of profits in the five games.

In the last year, five games have been played in the Pros Vs. Heroes series. The first and second game was played at Toms River North, New Jersey against the Toms River Force and South River Brave. The third game was played in Arizona against the Chandler Police Officers and Fire Department at WestWood High School. Recently, the last two games were played at Seaside Heights, New Jersey during the Jersey Shore Festival where the Pros took on Homeland Security and the Toms River Police Department. Currently, the Pros record stands at 4-1.
