About Larry Seivers
A native of Clinton, Tenn., Larry Seivers developed into a Tennessee fan favorite from 1974 to 1976 due to his sure-handed receiving skills. A two-time consensus All-America and All-SEC wide receiver, Seivers was also recognized as the 1976 SEC Male Athlete of the Year. Among his most memorable highlights as a Vol were his game-winning touchdown reception in a Liberty Bowl win over Maryland and a two-point conversion catch that capped a one-point victory over Clemson in 1974. He also tied the school record for catches in a single game when he hauled in 11 passes against Clemson in 1976. Seivers currently ranks seventh on Tennessee's all-time receptions list. The 1976 Tennessee co-captain finished his career with seven 100-yard receiving games.

At the Event
This year's Tailgate Fundraiser will coincide with the Hearing Aid Recycling Program (HARP) Donation Drive Kick-off. During the month of October, HSF will be focused on collecting aids for our hearing aid assistance program and could use your help! If you know of someone who has old, damaged or broken aids, please bring them to Tailgate. Through HARP, we are able to reuse hearing aids and parts for use on our patients. If the aid is too damaged, we can receive credit for parts towards the purchase of new aids.

We will also have a silent auction at this year's Tailgate with UT favorites such as a basketball signed by Bruce Pearl and a set of Thompson Boling Arena bar stools!
