2024 NJPC Tailgate
Saturday, September 21
Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium
STAY THE COURSE!!! The NJPC tailgate season is in full swing. We have 2 games in the log book. Many thanks to those of you who have been able to share your time and energy. The Mids are amazed by what we do and extremely appreciative! If you couldn't make the games, see the pictures on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
The action continues this Saturday, September 21. Game start is 3:30 pm. New Jersey parents will be on station by 8:00 am. Please join us and our partners First Command and Southeastern Pennsylvania Parents Association (SPPA) as we continue to supply great food and good cheer to the Brigade of Midshipmen. We welcome all NJ parents to donate food and supplies and help with set-up, cooking, serving, and clean-up. Come for an hour or the whole day, any and all participation is appreciated. Many hands make light work!
Answers to most questions -- such as where we are located at the stadium, where to park, food suggestions, etc. -- can be found on the Club website at:
Be sure to check your food in when you arrive. Bring a marker and tape to label your coolers and also consider bringing a lawn chair. Parking is available across the street from our tailgate site.
If you are unable to attend but would like to contribute, consider dropping food off with a fellow parent. There are also various dry goods which members can donate -- we need clamshell take-out containers and individual foil wrappers for sandwiches, as well as gloves for workers, knives and forks. In addition, we can always use more Chinet plates, 2-hour and 4-hour sternos, and full and half aluminum serving trays. Those and other items are listed on the Google Docs sign-up sheet at the link below.
We are blessed to have such great kids and the honor of serving them and the entire Brigade of Midshipmen. The tailgate is a great opportunity to build a Navy Family. Let’s lead with our hearts, work with our hands, and embrace this event as if all Midshipmen are our own.
Please click the button below to post your anticipated food and supplies donations for any game. It helps the Tailgate Team if you post your donations before arriving. Thank you!
