TC Patriot Game Seeking Applications From Veterans Groups

The TC Patriot Game is accepting applications from veterans organizations to receive the proceeds from the 2019 game, scheduled for September 20 at Thirlby Field.

Veterans groups are encouraged to apply online by March 31. The top five organizations selected will be invited to make a presentation to the Student Senate members from TC Central and TC West Senior High schools in April. The field will then be narrowed down to one organization that will become the event beneficiary. “The money is a small part of the benefit of the game,” says TC Patriot Game chair Scott Herzberg. “The recognition for the organization can help put them on the map. They become a critical part of the largest high school sporting event in northern Michigan.”

Now in its eighth year, the TC Patriot Game uses the annual football clash between the rival high schools to honor veterans, active duty military members, and first responders. The game has awarded $81,000 to six different veteran organizations; the 2018 game raised a record $16,000 for Warrior Sailing.
