About Us
Mission Statement
At Tailgate Warriors, we believe game day is more than just the score — it's about community, camaraderie, and giving back. We're a passionate crew of sports lovers, grill masters, and parking lot MVPs who turn every tailgate into a celebration of fun, friendship, and fair play.
Our mission is to unite fans through epic tailgates, promote great sportsmanship on and off the field, and rally support for worthy causes in our communities. Whether we're flipping burgers, serving tasty adult beverages or fundraising for local charities, we bring the same energy and heart to everything we do.
Because being a Tailgate Warrior means cheering loud, playing fair, and leaving the world a little better after every game.
