MURFREESBORO — The
annual Pigskin Pre-Game will once
again kick off the Middle Tennessee
State University Blue Raiders football season for alumni and friends of the
university.
A fundraiser for the Alumni
Legacy Scholarship, the event will begin at 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 19, at The Grove at Williamson Place, 3250
Wilkinson Pike, just off Medical Center Parkway near Interstate 24, in Murfreesboro.
“We are excited for another Pigskin Pre-Game,” said Ginger Freeman, MTSU Alumni Relations director.
“It is a fun time for alumni and community to get ready for Blue Raider
football and support the Alumni Legacy Scholarship.”
“The proceeds from Pigskin Pregame go to fund the Alumni
Legacy Scholarship, which only children and grandchildren of MTSU graduates are
eligible to apply for,” Freeman added.
Freeman said “almost $50,000 in scholarships
during the last five years have been awarded, largely because of the support we
receive from the community, our terrific sponsors and the MTSU faculty and
staff for events like Pigskin Pre-Game every year.”
Tickets for the event will be $35 per person. Children 12
and under are free. Those planning to attend must prepay and RSVP by Thursday,
Aug. 10, to secure the ticket.
Coach Rick Stockstill and members of his staff and other
coaches and administrators in the athletics department plan to attend.
Free parking is located on-site and the event will be held
rain or shine.
Steel Barrel Brewery
will be at the event this year and its ownership and management are excited for
people in the area to try their beer, especially since they are partnering on
the new MTSU fermentation science program, Freeman said.
Mayday Brewery
and Stones River Total Beverages
also will be at the event, as will caterer Tasty
Table and the Tennessee Pork
Producers.
MTSU alumna Kelsey
Steele, a country music singer and songwriter from Nashville, will provide
music.
