How long have you been a fan of Mississippi State? Since 2001 when I received my acceptance letter!
What is your favorite tailgate dish? It’s hard to go wrong with some good pulled pork
Why should you be the #1 fan? Because we might need a little extra help this fall in what could be a challenging football season – and because more than 50% of all broadcast meteorologists in the United States graduated from Mississippi State – so what better what to support your local weatherman or weatherwoman!
Why is it important to you to support Anne Elizabeth Shepherd Home? I first became aware of the mission of the AESH last year when one of our coworkers was opting to be the number one fan. I found their history and mission statement fascinating, and contributing to the mission of empowering young people to achieve their highest potential is one of the most noble causes I could imagine – so I’m delighted to draw attention to the mission and values of the AESH.
This is an all school football kickoff party to benefit the Anne Elizabeth Shepherd Home in Columbus. This event features tailgate fare, beer and wine, tailgate jams by DJ Cash Flow, mascots, cheerleaders, drumlines, a silent auction and more! At the event, our #1 fan will be announced. The #1 fan represents their school and is the top fundraiser for the Anne Elizabeth Shepherd Home. This high energy event is located at the Cunningham Center on the campus of Columbus State University. Come and be a part of this fun event and show off your school colors!
