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 at the Gretna High School Football Stadium 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. 

Touch-a-Truck Experience!
We’re thrilled to welcome the Nebraska State Troopers and Sarpy County Sheriff’s Department, who will be on-site with vehicles for a Touch-a-Truck experience your kids won’t want to miss!

 Plus...

  • Hy-Vee Tailgate meals available for purchase (All proceeds will go toward the Backpack Program)
  • Gretna Booster & PTO Marketplace shopping
  • A fun, spirited rivalry game between our high schools!

Let’s show our UNITY and support those in need. Bring your family, your donations, and your Gretna pride!
