Eleven Warriors is throwing another tailgate, and you're all invited.
The Eleven Dubgate returns to bring together a perfect College Football Saturday in Columbus with the vibrant 11W community. If you're unfamiliar with its history, you can learn more about it here.
SAT, OCT 26 2024 | 9AM - OSU/NEBRASKA KICKOFF
Tuttle Park & Norwich
Tuttle Park & Norwich
This year's edition – our 12th – takes place Saturday Oct 26 in the hours leading up to Ohio State's noon kickoff with Nebraska. And it's going to be right behind the Varsity Club on Tuttle Park Place and Norwich Ave. You can't miss it.
100% of proceeds from the Eleven Dubgate will go to Special Olympics Olentangy, which provides year-round sports training and competition in a variety of Olympic-type sports for area children and adults with intellectual disabilities. Special Olympics provides continuing opportunities to develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage, experience joy and participate in a sharing of gifts, skills and friendship with families, other Special Olympics athletes, and the Olentangy community.
Suggested donation: $20. Your generosity will be rewarded with tickets for food and drink. Additional tickets can be purchased while at the tailgate, with all proceeds going to Special Olympics Olentangy.
You can donate cash directly to Olentangy Special Olympics at the event or use Venmo to donate directly to the organization (@OSSOSTORM) either there or from wherever you happen to be.
The Eleven Dubgate has raised thousands of dollars and helped fund the nation’s first centralized and dedicated biobank for Down Syndrome research.
