On Friday, August 15th, a committee led by Bob and Jenn Boughner will host a Black Tie TailGate event at the WFCU Centre in support of Transition To Betterness and the community efforts of the Windsor Spitfires Foundation.

The event will feature Nashville country music sensation Jake Maurer, great food and fun, along with Spits alumni including: Steve Ott, Mike Weber, Taylor Hall, Zack Kassian, Cam Fowler, Adam Henrique and Eric Wellwood.

Manager of Events and Public Relations with T2B, Alessia Frighetto, says the chance to partner with the Spitfires Foundation on an event of this scope is huge.

"Bob and Jennifer attend a lot of our events," Frighetto said. "These are the times when our charity gets very lucky.

When the foundation comes forward and says 'we want to put together an event for you.' That's how it came about when Bob and Jenn came forward with this idea." Frighetto says response to the event has been very positive.

"We have 300 tickets sold and sponsorships have gone really well. It's nice to have supporters that believe in our mission and for Bob and Jenn to get their contacts involved is outstanding." Spitfires President Bob Boughner shares Frighetto's enthusiasm.

"Jenn and I are very excited to be event chairs for this Gala," Boughner said. "We feel very fortunate to be partnered with T2B. We wanted to do a night with a little bit of a different spin on it. The country feel is something near and dear to our hearts. Living in Nashville, we fell for the whole scene. People are going to love to hear my buddy Jake Maurer and his band, straight from the honky tonks on Broadway, playing some of their favourite country tunes.

Lots of fun to raise money for two great charities." For sponsorship opportunities or reservations call 519-944-5143, email community@windsorspitfires.com or alessia@t2b.ca.
