Wednesday, October 22, 2014 Update:

Thus Far 32 people have RSVP'd. If you're planning on coming, please RSVP below! Food and dessert items people are bringing are as follows: Cookies, brownies, toffee, pumpkin bread, apple crisp, chips and 7-layer dip.

The 2014 The Key Play tailgate will be Thursday (10/23/14) at 3:00 PM before the Miami game. The spot will be in Lot 18 (map), and we will hopefully get there early enough to park under the big tree in the front. Look for a black Ford F 150, TKP logo banner and a bunch of folks wearing horse on a treadmill tee shirts. There will be food (Sub Station II party sub, venison, cheeseburgers, brats) and drinks provided, but those are bound to run out. If you're planning on staying for a while, please bring something to contribute; whether that's food to share, drinks, or tailgating supplies (chairs, trash bags, whatever).

Most importantly, it's not just a banging party, but a charity event. If you plan to come by at all, even to say hello for a minute, you must bring $5 or more in cash, canned goods, or supplies from this list if you're a student. That bumps to $10 if you have a real world job. Contributions of money, gift cards, and/or supplies are fully tax deductible. The Women's Resource Center is a federally recognized 501(c)3 and Pam Beale ( administration wrcnrv [DOT] org) would be happy to provide whatever written documentation is requested.

The donations will benefit The Women's Resource Center Of The New River Valley.

I think it's a great cause, and they greatly appreciated our help last year.

Located in Radford, VA, we are a non-profit, human service agency with the purpose of providing programs and services to adult and child victims of domestic and sexual violence. For 30 years, we've been providing hope and help to those who need it in the New River Valley. Our center, the oldest in Virginia, has been and will continue to be the cornerstone of courage and inspiration for thousands of people in our community.

The Women's Resource Center is committed to serving all victims of domestic and sexual violence, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, national origin, age, religion, disability, or veteran status.

I know how generous HokieNation, and everyone on this site can be. Last year we raised $363.00 in monetary contributions, $100.00 in Kroger gift cards and $150.00 in canned goods. We need to crush those numbers this year. If you can't make the tailgate (boo-ing noises), you can always donate online.

This year we'll be raffling off gift cards to your favorite downtown spots, TKP pint glasses and more.

If you have any questions, leave them in the comments on this post. If you're coming, fill out the RSVP below.

I hope to see everyone in Blacksburg!
