Recent Community Services
- Children’s Miracle Network:
In the Spring of 2015, Tailgate Express partnered with Buffalo Wild Wings and the Pabst Brewing Company for a fundraiser benefiting the Children’s Miracle Network. We helped coordinate an awesome tailgate party that was free to the public, while offering a carwash in the parking lot of Buffalo Wild Wings where all proceeds went to benefit the Children’s Miracle Network. Tailgate Express provided all tailgate equipment from tents, tables, chairs, TV’s, and DJ. TGE also coordinated with a company providing armadillo races every 30 minutes throughout the day. It was quite the spectacle and a creative way to raise money and awareness for an amazing cause!
- Special Olympics Kentucky Derby Fundraiser:
In April of 2016, Tailgate Express partnered with Caprock Winery to provide a phenomenal fundraising event for the Special Olympics. Tailgate Express organized, provided food, as well as 6 different TV setups to view the Kentucky Derby at Caprock Winery. This event was brought to our attention by volunteers of the Special Olympics, and we were honored to assist the fundraising efforts for participants, sponsors, and volunteers of the Special Olympics.
- American Heart Association Tailgate:
In the Fall of 2016, Tailgate Express provided a full blown, all inclusive, complimentary tailgate for the American Heart Association. We wanted to choose a local non-profit organization and reward them with a tailgate during a Texas Tech home football game. Choosing the American Heart Association was easy for me, because my grandfather has been through quadruple bypass surgery, stints, and a pacemaker! I personally wanted to do something to thank them! The opportunity for Tailgate Express to help reward all the hard work and research provided by the American Heart Association was fantastic!
