Football, fine food and fundraising will collide during the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation’s 2010 Southern Oak Insurance Company Tailgate – Kick Off to a Cure at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 19, in the Terrace Suite at the Everbank Field. Jacksonville’s finest restaurants will be serving gourmet tailgate food as the Jacksonville Jaguars take on the San Diego Chargers.

Tailgate guests will watch the NFL game on 30 big-screen plasma televisions positioned throughout the Terrace Suite, along with extra large flat screens donated by Best Buy, one of which will be awarded to a lucky winner via a prize drawing.  Supporters will also have the opportunity to shop during the silent and live auctions while enjoying the game.
