Looking forward to seeing you guys on TV representing the Chiefs down there. Going to be a great game!

The silent auction for the tickets is closed. The tickets were sold with a winning bid of $500. Nice kick start to the raising money for charities part of the weekend.

Enjoying some real KC BBQ, sharing some cold beverages with fellow Chief fans. Seeing Mahomes play live and kick some butt. AND raising money for worthy charities. Now that’s a damn good weekend.

For the record and keeping this in the open so everyone can have confidence that there was no shenanigans with the charity monies.....All monies from the Sat, night fundraiser and Sunday tailgate ticket sales will be split evenly between the Patrick Mahomes foundation, Nick Foles foundation and the KC BBQ society's scholarship programs for kids.


The money raised by these donated ticket will not be split evenly but will be given to the Patrick Mahomes foundation exclusively. The Nick Foles charity group will be having a silent auction at the fundraising event. They are running it, setting it up etc. That money will go to the Nick Foles foundation exclusively. The KC BBQ Society may also do something at the events. As long as the do all the work, run it, they can keep that money raised exclusively too.

I'm fairly new here in terms of posting, and certainly haven't been to a gathering of planet members. Is there anything that planet members do to identify themselves as such?

The only reason(s) I ask are (1) BRC definitely deserves some beverage courtesy of myself; and (2) I've lurked a long time here, and even though most here don't know me, some of you feel like family or friends....it'd be cool to meet some of you

I should be easy to identify. I’m going to be hanging with a couple of long time posters on here at the fundraiser and tailgate. I’ll introduce ya. I usually don’t say who publicly before. That’s up to them. most times at meet ups people will point out Planeteers and introduce everyone.

You joined Arrowhead South? We are starting a new chapter in Orlando. You will be able to go watch the games with fellow Chief fans. We are up to 9 Chief fan chapters in different cities throughout Florida.

Didn't know anything about Arrowhead South in Orlando....Would love to get together for some games. I live downtown, so pretty easy to get anywhere around Orlando.
[Reply]

we have 9 chapters all over Florida, maybe an even 10 chapters by opening day. The Orlando chapter will be at Millers Ale House in the central part of Orlando.

I always thought it would be cool to create CP member buttons for large events with your username and your first name, last initial.

I just bought tix using the link in the OP - thank you Mr. BigRedChief! I look forward to representing with y’all!!

I live in Southbank, with a view of the Jags stadium across the river from my condo. I recommend those coming down to Jax to look into the hotels around here, and simply taking the river taxi to the stadium. http://www.jaxrivertaxi.com/routes--rates

See y’all at the game!

you can go watch the Chiefs games with your fellow Chief fans all season at the new Arrowhead South Jacksonville chapter at the Millers Ale House southside location. One of the long time Planet posters is a co-founder of that chapter.

P.S. Definitely owe you some drinks for the time getting this organized. I like to come prepared. Any particular beverage of choice? Me, I'm more of a beer guy, so I'll have some Boulevard Wheat in tow....

Update 08/17:

Current total of tickets sold:

• Saturday Night VIP fundraiser....112 tickets sold.
• Sunday pre-game tailgate ....... 295 tickets sold.

Thanks to all the volunteers who have contributed to make these events a success. In just a few short weeks we will be feasting on award winning competitive KC style BBQ.

I can already smell the deliciousness coming from the smoker. Brisket, Burnt ends, Pork Loin etc. courtesy of the KC BBQ society and Fergilious. Sharing some cold beverages with fellow Chief fans. Watching Mahomes on the field live take the next step in this golden era of Chiefs football.

And the best part.....Enjoying the festivity while raising money for charities that are doing great work for people in need. Its going to be a great weekend!

Hi, folks. I have 1 extra (free) ticket to the game. Row 3 right behind the Chiefs bench with my friend Henry and me. Happy to gift it to the first CPer to PM me (and the idea is you'll attend, not sell it).
