BankerBird™ Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Sunday is a HUGE game for the Falcons and I'll be talking as much smack as anyone on game day. But, I also know that Falcons fans have a big heart when it comes to helping those less fortunate among us, and although times are tough for everyone right now, I thought this was good information to share with those of us who will be making the trip to Carolina this weekend. Panthers to Hold Food DrivePanthers to hold food drivePosted Nov 2, 2009The Carolina Panthers will hold their annual Holiday Food Drive to benefit the Salvation Army's Christmas Bureau when they play the Atlanta Falcons at Bank of America Stadium on Sunday, Nov. 15 at 1 p.m.Fans are encouraged to bring "one can per fan" or other non-perishable food item with them to the game. Volunteers from the Salvation Army will be at each entrance with collection barrels when the gates open at 11 a.m."With the help of Panthers fans, our goal is to raise more than 10 tons of food to feed hungry families in Greater Charlotte. It is no surprise that the need is greater than ever this year. Panthers fans have always been generous in answering the call to assist those in need in our community," said Riley Fields, the Carolina Panthers director of community relations.For fans who forget their food donations, the Salvation Army will also have red kettles set-up for those wishing to make monetary gifts. All food and money collected at the game will be used by the Salvation Army to serve more than 20,000 people in Greater Charlotte this holiday season.

Tandy Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I'm not going to this game - but I hope they have a big turnout for the food drive.I did take a couple of grocery bags with canned goods to our last game and dropped them in the can.

FalconFanSince1970 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Banker, I know how much you dislike the Panties. This is a noble effort on your part.I won't be attending, but if you are somewhere near the south side of ATL I can meet you and give you a few items to take with you. PM me if interested.

PM me if interested.Thanks, man. As a Christian, I can let my disdain for the Panties go only so far. :P I'm not close to the southside (I live east of the city in Covington), otherwise I'd take you up on that offer. But, check the Road Trip forum as there may be someone there who might be able to take those off your hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxic Falcon Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I might be going to the next home game. Where are the good tailgate places ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BankerBird™ Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 I might be going to the next home game. Where are the good tailgate places ?A bunch of us are getting together for a pre-tailgate at the Hooters downtown on Saturday evening. Check out this thread in the Road Trip forum for more details. Dipper is heading it up.As for tailgating on game day, generally speaking, Panthers fans tailgating sucks. It really does. This will be my 7th straight year attending this game and it's some of the quietest tailgating I've ever experienced. I'm not sure if there's an "organized" tailgate for Falcons fans, but keep checking the Road Trip forum or send a PM to Dipper. He might know.

Dem Birds Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Threads like these are the ones that make me proud of our fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
House Posted November 13, 2009 Share Posted November 13, 2009 guess it would be wrong to say that I hope the game turns out like the food drive, a big flop for the panties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
