According to speaker of the House Mohammad Issa, the money from Tailgate for Life will be going to the American Cancer Society for breast cancer research. The event itself will involve food, games, door prizes and live bands.
Applications for bands that would like to play at the tailgate will be released.
“We won’t be having live auditions,” Issa said. “Bands applying will probably send a CD or use a website.”
House will also be sponsoring the Alumni Room event. According to Wolff, students will be welcoming alumni to the homecoming game with food as well as a collection of yearbooks through which they may reminisce.
“We’re just gonna be bringing in food and hopefully have a ton of people show up,” Issa said.
