The Black Saturday Banger Raised Over $3,000 for DownSyndrome Achieves

When the Eleven Dubgate's tailgating plot unexpectedly fell victim to a Columbus City ordinance late this summer we were left scrambling for any way to properly hold our signature annual event.

After all, it was the Penn State game, a night game - and an alternative uniform game. The spots anywhere near campus that could accommodate a function the size that we were accustomed to throwing were all taken months earlier. Fortunately our friends at Hamptons on King opened their doors to us and the Black Saturday Banger was born.

The food and drinks were discounted for 11W readers with that money - as well as donations at the door and raffle ticket sales from our event hostesses - going toward our long-time partner DownSyndrome Achieves.
