Nancy Treskot, past president of the Greater Northern Lehigh Chamber of Commerce, explained at the Tailgate for a Cause, the flags decorating the food tents had to be for both the Bulldogs and Tigers, as both schools receive money from the Chamber.

Alice Wanamaker said that the party, now in its third year, has many sponsors.

The fundraiser splits proceeds between Brett Snyder for the ALS Foundation and the Bo Tkach Foundation’s Hat and Helmet.

Northern Lehigh’s Tkach had a promising football career and Northwestern Lehigh’s Snyder went on to play at Lehigh University.

The game is called “Mountain Road Rumble” as that is the name of the road connecting the two schools.

“It is our third year and based on what we see it will be our most successful,” Chamber President Jack Bechtel said. “The money goes directly to the ALS Foundation and Hat and Helmet.”“We’re all enjoying hot dogs and hamburgers. It is a nice event.”

Both schools supported the Chamber’s tailgate by making announcements in the schools.
