2021 Annual Bill Briggs-Tim Grace Memorial Football Party

The Annual Bill Briggs-Tim Grace Memorial Football Party to benefit youth programming in Chautauqua County will be held Sunday, October 16.

The Greater Jamestown AM Rotary is hosting the event at Ellicottville Brewing Company in Bemus Point.

Doors will open at 3:00 p.m. with kickoff at 4:25 p.m. Tickets are $45 and include food and drink and the chance to win $1,000 in cash prizes. You do not need to be present to win.

Greater Jamestown AM Rotary purchases coats each year through the Salvation Army’s “Bundle Them Up” program and sponsors the Royal Family Kids Camp at Mission Meadows. With the money raised, Rotary has purchased equipment to implement the First Tee Community Golf Program in collaboration with the YMCA at Ring School, and helped purchase 1,800 backpacks with The Chautauqua Center for students K-12 in Chautauqua County earlier this year.

To purchase tickets please contact any Greater Jamestown AM Rotarian or call 716-485-3933.

The Salvation Army will be accepting warm clothing donations in the lobby of the Arena prior to each of this weekend’s games. Games start at 7 p.m. on Friday and 5 p.m. on Saturday. Warm clothes such as coats, scarves, hats and gloves will be accepted and any fans who donate will receive $2 off of their ticket into the game.

This is part of the Salvation Army’s “Bundle Them Up” program designed to provide warm clothes and coats to local children that otherwise wouldn’t have them during the winter. The Salvation Army collection bins will be in the Arena Lobby from Friday October 19th to Thursday October 25th. All are encouraged to donate throughout that time. Donations will only be rewarded with a $2 discount off of Ironmen tickets if they are made prior to the games taking place this Friday and Saturday.

For further information, or to make direct monetary donations to the Salvation Army, please contact Jolene Holliday at 664-4108.
