Posting this on the main board for maximum visibility.
As many of you know I have been running a 50-50 raffle at our Fine Mess Tailgates the last couple of years. With the proceeds of this raffle we have purchased an array of high end equipment for our tailgates including a mega-party grill, catering equipment and supplies, a sound system and a media room complete with big screen TV and Roku stick.
For Military Appreciation Day last year we donated the proceeds to the Tenth Mountain Division Association at Fort Drum. This organization provides support to our servicemen and women including a scholarship fund, gift packs through Wounded Warriors for Tenth Mountain soldiers at Walter Reed and support for the Mountain of Toys initiative that provides some Christmas cheer for children of military families. Thanks to the winner of last year's raffle, giacofan donating his winnings back in full we sent a check for $400 to the Association last year.
We will be repeating this on Saturday in the Fine Lot prior to our critical game against Wake Forest. This year, Jim Swords, a board member of the Association will join us as an honored guest, will address the group talking about the good work that the Association does and will draw the winning number.
If you will be at the tailgate, bring an extra few dollars to participate. If you cannot join us, but would like to lend your support, send me a PM and I'll give you paypal instructions so you can be part of this initiative. You must be present to win the raffle, so you won't be eligible to cash in, but your contribution will be added in full to our total donation which will be identified as Compliments of Syracusefan.com and the Fine Mess Tailgate.
