Tailgate for a Cause honoring Matt Mangina

2019 marks the first football season in over 40 years to begin without our dear friend Matt Mangina.  Matt lost his battle to cancer last fall, leaving us way too soon.  Matt was a father, loyal friend, and he treasured the fellowship experienced this time of year.   While Matt left no doubt where his college football allegiances lie, we are all on the same team in fighting cancer.

We at the Sweetpea tailgate will honor Matt throughout the season by raising money in his name  to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Reminders of the fundraiser will be sent out periodically to tailgate members, friends, and family. 

We miss you Matt.
