It's that time of year again, the spring game is a little over a week away. As usual, my group is putting on a tailgate to raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. So, if you don't want to pack your grill, food, beer, tent and worry about setting up, we'll do it all for you for $25 in advance (or $40 the day of) that's tax deductible and goes directly to LLS.

For those of you with Facebook, here is the invite. We'd appreciate it if you RSVPed on there as well as pre-paying, to get a good count of numbers if you have FB: https://www.facebook.com/events/799839636736927/

Click here on the "DONATE NOW" to pre-pay. Under the comments section type in "gopher tailgate": http://www.mwoy.org/pages/mn/MN15/asumangil

If you don't have Facebook, here are all the details:
Date: April 11th
Time: Noon tailgate (most likely, they haven't announced what time the lots open), 3pm game
Cost: $25/person, $5/child if you pay by April 9th
Where: The Maroon lot (off to the left when you enter)

This is a fundraising event for Anne Sumangil's Woman of the Year campaign. Please pre-pay at his LLS Link: http://www.mwoy.org/pages/mn/MN15/asumangil "DONATE NOW" to pre-pay.
Under the comments section type in "gopher tailgate"!

If you can't make it, please consider donating (especially if you love our tailgates, and have always offered to give...this is what you can give to).

Cost for tailgate (the game is FREE):
$25 dollars for adults and $5 dollars for children by 4/09.
Price includes amazing tailgate setup, TV, burger bar, hot and cold dips, beer (sponsored by Original Gravity - Craft Beer Distributors), soda and water! We will be charging $40 dollars day of event so purchase tickets now!!

You will also be able to purchase jello shots, enter a raffle for a Jerry Kill signed helmet, and play cornhole/beanbags for great prizes!!! You never know who will stop by, in the past we've had Eric Decker, Jessie James, Jerry Kill, Norwood Teague, and many others that support the Gophers.

If you're busy this day, that's okay - you can still donate to this great cause: http://www.mwoy.org/pages/mn/MN15/asumangil

At first I was just going to donate, but now I am flying in to be there!!! This sounds like such a fun event with great food and I always enjoy a tailgate with GopherLady. Posters and non-posters, don't be shy and come join the fun. I mean who can argue with drinking some beers on a beautiful spring day, maybe watching some football being passed around and raising money to fight cancer?

I mean...this tailgate is worth flying in from San Diego for :). Also some more good news....we just got word that Goldy is going to stop by! He's come every year, and is great with taking pics with our group.

It's a really good thing you are coming, because we just got the beer from Original Gravity...who was going to drink all this without you there??? :)
