Program accomplishments

  • Net proceeds: Net proceeds of Tailgater events were used to fund projects benefitting other Sun City resident exempt 501(c)(7) corporations and the community in general. The organization funded the purchases of several asset for the community, including new grills at the community pavilion. These assets were not going to be replaced by the HOA for several years. The club accelerated their replacement by purchasing them from our net proceeds. Assets belong to the HOA. Since there are many clubs and groups wanting to grill year long, these grills are essential. We provided two.
  • Over 500 volunteers donated about 3500 hours to prepare, cook, and serve community clubs and residents at over 100 events during 2025. An estimated 7000 meals were served by Tailgaters in 2025. When Tailgaters handle the prep and cooking and serving and cleaning up, residents can better interact with their friends and neighbors.
  • Sun City Tailgaters paid for the installation of crosswalk lights to assist pedestrians safely navigate our major intersection within the community, etc.. Their installation and use should help prevent another pedestrian death at this intersection.
  • In 2024 the Tailgaters Club coordinated a community-wide fundraiser after Hurricane Helene devastated the community's softball, pickleball, horseshoes, gardens, disc golf etc at the amenity Waters Edge Park in Sun City Carolina Lakes (SCCL). All funds received were from residents, to be used to assist community clubs. No resident benefitted from the funds received, only community clubs. The funds collected from residents and other clubs in our SCCL community are to restore the playing fields, equipment, functionality, and appearance to pre-Helene status. Donations were voluntary. Because our Club's mission is to benefit our community, Sun City Tailgaters were uniquely prepared to oversee the restoration project. The fundraiser brought in over $25,400, and all funds received were to be used for purchases related to restoration needed at the Waters Edge Park because of the 500-year flood the community suffered. The Tailgaters Club purchased supplies, equipment, mulch, gravel etc for the affected clubs using the funds donated by the community for the community. The Tailgaters Club did not benefit itself from this fundraiser, just the community clubs in our SCCL community.
