Community Opportunity Tailgate and Food Drive

Battle of 370 Football Game Tailgate & Food Drive

Friday, October 24, 2025 is the biggest rivalry of the year … let’s start a new tradition of unity in Gretna! The Gretna Public Schools Foundation, with support from the District, is hosting a CommUNITY OpportUNITY event to bring our community together in support of our schools. 

On Friday, October 24, 2025, the Gretna Public Schools Foundation, with the support of the District, will host a CommUNITY OpportUNITY event to bring our community together in support of families within our schools.

The driving force behind this event is the Weekend Backpack Program, launched and funded by the Foundation. This program currently serves 75 families each week, helping students come to school on Mondays ready to learn.

We invite everyone attending the Battle of 370 Football Game to bring a non-perishable food item to donate that evening. The Foundation will use these items for our weekend backpack program. We will also be hosting a tailgate with burgers and hot dogs. All proceeds from the tailgate will go toward the Backpack Program.
