Yesterday I posted about a Guys Night Out football event. It reminded me of the traditional football tailgate event. Why not make a football tailgate party into a fundraiser? Your football booster club could host a tailgate style event before your high school football game. It could be a family friendly picnic instead of the “guys only.”

You’d raise funds by selling food, drinks and spirit items. Maybe even a special tailgate party t-shirt. You could provide entertainment such as a band. How about a special performance by the cheerleading squad. I’m sure you could think of lots of fun special things to add to your party.

Does your team have a “grudge match” each year? That would be a great one to host your tailgate party. Parents night or the last game of the season are also good days to host football tailgate party fundraiser.

Your high school football fans love to come out and support the team. They’ve also got to eat! So why not have a tailgate party to give them the chance to do both!
