LUBBOCK, Texas (NEWS RELEASE) – The following is a news release from the Salvation Army of Lubbock:
For many local non-profit organizations, the holiday season is vital, both terms of service provision and fundraising for those services and programs. With Thanksgiving falling later on the calendar this year, the seasonal giving window is much shorter and The Salvation Army is facing significant challenges in being able to meet its fundraising goals. With that reality in mind, Alliance Credit Union is conducting a Pregame Tailgate ahead of this weekend’s Texas Tech football game that will benefit The Salvation Army during this critical time of the year.
The community is invited to attend the Pregame Tailgate, a free event, to help support Salvation Army programs and services to those in need in Lubbock. It’s a Tailgate and yes, there will be food! Hamburgers and drinks will be provided. Casey Cowan with 100.7’s The Bottom Line, will be on-site doing a live remote AND attendees will be entered in a drawing to win tickets to this Saturday’s football game vs TCU. The Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Express truck will be on location to collect donations as well.
What:
Alliance Credit Union Pregame Tailgate
When:
Friday, November 15, 2019 from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM
Where:
Alliance Credit Union – 8401 Quaker Ave., Lubbock, Texas
