Leave the cooler behind and let us provide your game-day tailgate party!

GLBTAA members, join the Monroe Co. Chapter of the IUAA for an IU football tailgate party and food drive this Saturday, Oct. 11, from 9 a.m. to noon!

The tailgate party will occur at IUAA's new Hoosier Village - The Ultimate IU Tailgate Destination, behind the DeVault Alumni Center, 1000 E. 17th St., across from Assembly Hall and Memorial Stadium. Great food hot-off-the-grill, game-day apparel and merchandise from TIS Bookstore, fun prizes, Kids Zone, beverages from Bloomington's very own Upland Brewery, live music, and much more! The price of admission to enter is simply non-perishable food items or canned foods which will be donated to Hoosier Hills Food Bank following the game. Admission without food donation is $15 for IUAA members and $20 for non-members. Children 12 and under are $7.50. The past three years, the local Monroe County Chapter of the IUAA has contributed more than 3,000 pounds of food from their annual tailgate party & food drive. Join the fun this Saturday and help the Hoosier Hills Food Bank!

To assist us with planning and food guarantees, we ask that you please make an advanced reservation. All we need is your name and the number of people in your group. Please contact Aimee Hansell, IU Alumni Association, at (812) 855-4958 or ahansell@indiana.edu. The weather forecast for Saturday looks great. You couldn't ask for a better day to join the tailgating fun and watch the Hoosiers return to winning form against the Iowa Hawkeyes. Kickoff for Saturday's Big Ten match-up is noon.
