Maple Shade Tiger Youth Football hosts the week-long fundraiser, but officials say Friday night, with the help of several area police departments, they had to contain and disperse a large and unruly crowd of teenagers.
They say they were unable to verify online rumors that some of the kids had weapons.
In response, organizers, township officials and police decided to cancel the event.
They said the decision was not made lightly, and understand the widespread disappointment, but that safety remains their top priority.
