Community Partner

 Each year, Heads Up Tri-Cities selects one community partner to share in the impact of our annual Tailgate Fundraiser.  The community partner is chosen through the Bridge-the-Gap grant applications. This partnership provides a unique opportunity for a local nonprofit to benefit directly from the event by actively participating in publicity, table sales, and the procurement of auction items. By collaborating with us throughout the planning and promotion process, the selected partner helps build a successful event—and in return receives the net proceeds from the fundraiser to support their mission and services in the community. 🏈🤝
