ULTIMATE TAILGATE PARTY!

2020

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

Drive-Thru/Take-Out on the 22nd from 4pm to 7pm

Over the past 9 years the Exchange Club of West St. Tammany has given over $400,000 back to our Community with your help! This year the game is a little different. When the whole Community is impacted those less fortunate get impacted even more, especially the Youth! Exchange Club’s Ultimate Tailgate Party is a fundraiser designed to fund programs that assist these Youth, so this year we need your help more than ever, they need your help!

Tailgate BBQ, Advocates, and Sports fans alike, please join the Exchange Club to raise money for the Children and Families of Our Northshore with this year’s To-Geaux BBQ Meal Drive-Thru Fundraiser. Your choice of a Rib, Pulled Pork, or Chicken BBQ meal with two sides or you can even feed the Family with a deal including all three meats and sides!

The event has a focus on a large online auction ranging from small gift baskets to high value trips and event tickets, the contributions will go to our two annual beneficiaries, CAC Hope House and the YSB’s CASA Program along with UTP X beneficiary, the Miracle League NORTHSHORE.

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 that greatly impact the Children of the Northshore. We look forward to a successful 10th Annual Ultimate Tailgate Party!

Primary Beneficiaries

Trust-Based Relational Interventions®, an evidence-based treatment for children who have experienced multiple traumatic events is to be implemented by Children’s Advocacy Center-Hope House. TBRI® is designed for children from “hard places” such as abuse, neglect, and/or trauma. Because of their histories, it is often difficult for these children to trust the loving adults in their lives, which often results in perplexing behaviors. TBRI® offers practical tools for parents, caregivers, teachers, or anyone who works with children, to see the “whole child” in their care and help that child reach his highest potential.

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 firs-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.

Secondary Beneficiary

The mission of the Miracle League Northshore is to promote the health and well-being of children with disabilities, provide opportunities for able-bodied children to learn about and interact with children with disabilities, and develop community awareness and support for the child athlete with disabilities through organized sports leagues. The Miracle League is designed to serve kids who cannot be accommodated by established baseball, basketball and soccer leagues due to their unique abilities.

With the growth and success of our first year in our new home, we quickly realized that we needed more space! Every Saturday, our bleachers are PACKED! Friends, family, grandparents, teachers, therapists, neighbors, everyone comes out to cheer on our athletes. It truly is the best atmosphere of any baseball stadium you’ll find.

However, this leaves many parents standing for the game. Our goal is to create a Left Field Lounge area that will provide shade and seating for the overflow of the best fans in baseball.
