Gearing up for Tailgate!
Amanda Womac

It’s officially football time in Tennessee, and around here that means time for our annual Away Game Tailgate Fundraiser! This year’s event is our 5^th annual fundraiser and will be hosted by former UT quarterback and current North Carolina Congressman Heath Shuler. Join us Saturday, Sept. 17 for the ultimate tailgate experience!

Tax-deductible tickets are on sale now for $100 and include two complimentary beverage tickets, a lavish buffet of tailgate food, including gator bites, and the opportunity to watch the UT Vols battle it out with the Florida Gators on a wall of TVs in the East Club Skybox. The Vols will be in Florida, so parking will be a cinch!

Kickoff time is set for 3:30 p.m. Doors will open at 2:30 p.m. Call our office at (865) 977.0981 or email Amanda to reserve your spot today!

At the Event
In addition to watching the football game with Heath Shuler, you will have the opportunity to get an autographed picture with him, printed and signed right there in front of your eyes, thanks to Lovingood Photo.

Additionally, our silent auction committee has been hard at work to bring you some very unique experiences. Some examples are:
Fighter Pilot For a Day
Girlfriends Shopping Get-a-Way
Mardi-Gras VIP Experience
Colorado Mountain Home

Other items include UT memorabilia, Tailgating in Style fashion package, signed football by Heath Shuler, Titan tickets, personal musical ensemble and more. This is one silent auction you won’t want to miss!

This event would not be possible without the support of our sponsors. Thanks also to media sponsors Blount Today, WBIR and Charter Media for helping spread the word about Tailgate.

I hope you make plans to join us in the East Club Skybox of Neyland Stadium Saturday, Sept. 17 for the ultimate tailgating experience. Call 977.0981 or email me to reserve your tickets today!
