The Bowling Green FFA Chapter kicked off the year with its Annual Tailgate on Sept. 23 before the Bowling Green vs. Anthony Wayne football game. It was a beautiful night for the event and it was a great success, raising $700 for Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Toledo.
The night consisted of a dunk tank with Bowling Green City Schools finest teachers and staff; Mr. Black, Mrs. Bacon, Mr. Hale, Mr. Jarvis, Mr. Aungst and Mr. Ferguson. We appreciate them making a splash to help the chapter raise money for Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Toledo. In addition, guests were also able to enjoy inflatable activities such as an obstacle course, slide and a bounce house.
Thanks to the generous donation by Bellville’s Meat Market, BG FFA Chapter was able to provide free food for the attendees during the event, including hot dogs, chips and cookies.
As the festivities of pre-game came to an end the BG FFA Chapter kept busy during the first and second quarter at donation tables. The tables were for fans of both football teams to donate their spare change. This along with donations from the tailgate itself allowed the chapter to raise $700.
A grand total of money raised at tailgate, along with other events throughout the year, will be announced at our Bobcat-A-Thon event in March, benefiting Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Toledo.
