ULTIMATE TAILGATE PARTY!

2018

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

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

Covington Trailhead, 7pm

Tailgate and football fans will join the Exchange Club to kick off the 2018 football season and to raise money for the children and families of our community. This event is to raise money for the children and families of our community. Over the past 7 years the Exchange Club has given $390,000 back to our community with your help!

The event will have live music by Four Unplugged, an online silent auction, and live auction to contribute to our two annual beneficiaries. To show our appreciation to our sponsors, the Exchange Club will hold a Post-Event Beneficiary Celebration to distribute funds to beneficiaries for their various projects. We look forward to a successful 8th Annual Ultimate Tailgate Party!

The Character Development Learning Institute program is being delivered through the West St. Tammany YMCA’s Leaders Club. This program encourages parent/teen involvement through weekly training and activities designed to develop character traits such as: Empathy, Responsibility, Relationship Building, Emotion Management and Personal Development. This program promotes building stronger family units and assists in filling in the gaps that today’s young people face in their development.

Secondary Beneficiary

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) is a program provided by the Youth Service Bureau that trains and supervises community volunteers from all walks of life to be a voice in Court for abused and neglected children, to help judges find them safe and permanent homes. CASA assists the Court in its determination of the best interest of children by providing a first-hand, independent perspective. CASA benefits our community by working to help end the cycle of child abuse and helps children have what all children deserve - safe, permanent homes.
