ULTIMATE TAILGATE PARTY!

2017

SINCE 2011

As all great ideas begin, the Ultimate Tailgate Party was created over a cold one with friends on a back porch in Louisiana. UTP is a non-profit annual fundraiser supporting the hosting organization, the Exchange Club, programs of service:

Americanism, Building a Strong Family Unit, and Child Abuse Prevention

Over the last 6 years we have accumulated $350,000 for our community that has only been made possible by community giving through sponsorship, auction donations, ticket sales, and planning by a dozen of our Exchange Club members.

OUR MISSION

We come together in order to eliminate child abuse in all forms, to foster the health and growth of a strong family unit, to promote Americanism, to strengthen the education of our children and to give ourselves in service to our community.

Ultimate Tailgate Party

Our 2017 Ultimate Tailgate Party to kick off a winning football season for the New Orleans Saints, LSU, and Tulane is scheduled for August 26th, 2017 at Tchefuncta Country Club in Covington.

The evening will begin with a Patron Party inside the clubhouse in the Graham dining room at 6:00 p.m., followed by a savory competition of BBQ teams, competing to be crowned Champion of the Grill.

In addition to the great food and drink, there will be dancing to the music of FOUR UNPLUGGED, silent and live auctions, a raffle and lots more.

From start to finish, you can be assured of an evening of fabulous food, wonderful music and lots of fun-and all for a great cause!
