Bowling Green FFA kicked off the year with the Annual Tailgate on Sept. 10, before the BG vs. Perrysburg football game. It was a beautiful night and the event was a big success raising $1,335 for Mercy Health Children’s Hospital.
The night consisted of a dunk tank with Bowling Green City Schools teachers and staff: Mr. Jarvis, Mr. Ferguson, Mr. Black, Mrs. Bacon, and Mr. Bechstein. We appreciate them making a splash to help us raise money for Mercy Health Children’s Hospital. In addition, guests were also able to enjoy inflable activities such as an obstacle course, slide and a bounce house.
Thanks to the donation by Belleville Meat Market and chapter funds, BG FFA was able to provide free food for the attendees during the event. Hot dogs, chips, and cookies were enjoyed by all.
As the festivities of pre-game came to a close the Bowling Green High School Cheer Team and FFA officer team kept busy in between first and second quarter. The chapter held a miracle minute in which the cheer team took to the stands to collect spare change from both teams spectators. This along with donations from the tailgate itself allowed us to raise $1,335.
A grand total of the money raised at tailgate, along with other events throughout the year, will be announced at our Bobcat-A-Thon event in March, benefiting Mercy Health Children’s Hospital.
