DCSF hosting Homecoming Tailgate Party to benefit city schools

Enjoy a barbeque dinner before the Demopolis High School Homecoming Game and help the Demopolis City Schools Foundation at the same time.

A Tailgate Fundraiser to benefit the DCSF will be held before the game on Friday, Oct. 15, beginning at 4:30 p.m. Ashley Coplin, executive director, said the event promises more than just good food. It will feature DHS cheerleaders and members of the River City Blue Marching Band and entertainment by retired DMS math teacher Mike Rogers and DHS special education teacher Andi Turberville.

The tailgate party will be held across from the DHS stadium by the auditorium. The dinner features a BBQ plate with sides, dessert and a drink for $20, catered by Slab and More and sponsored by Foster Farms.

Those attending the tailgate party will not have to pay for parking but will have to buy a ticket if they want to attend the game.

To purchase tickets, text the word “Tailgate” to 99192, scan a special QR code on Tailgate Fundraiser flyers on a camera or smartphone or visit to the Foundation FB page. Deadline for ordering tickets to the event is Tuesday, Oct. 12.
