Bolingbrook Lions Club Teaming with Tailgaters to Raise Funds for Tornado Victims

A couple of Bears players were in the Coal City/Diamond area and featured on TV earlier this week assisting in relief efforts following the tornado that left a number of Will/Grundy county line residents homeless. And a couple hundred Bolingbrook Bears fans—perhaps many more—will join in that relief effort soon.

The question: Will you be one of them?

The Bolingbrook Lions Club is teaming with Tailgaters Sports Bar & Grill in an effort to raise funds for the victims of tornadoes that ravaged parts of Illinois on Sunday, Nov. 17.

Lions club members are inviting fans to "huddle up" and watch the Bears battle the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football Dec. 9 at Tailgaters Sports Bar & Grill, 431 W. Boughton Road, Bolingbrook. Lions club members will be grilling brats and serving chili for $3 each. And, a Tailgater’s special—the Cowboy Steak Sandwich—will be available for $5.

Kickoff is at 7:40 p.m. The Lions’ grill will open at 6 p.m. for pre-game meals. All proceeds go to the Bolingbrook Lions Club downstate tornado victims fund. For more information, contact Ray Macri by phone (630) 921-7710 or email: raymacri@att.net.

Oh, yes, there is another reason for you to get involved here: The Bears (6-4) are tied for first place in the NFC North with the Detroit Lions heading into action Sunday, Nov. 24. The Bears face the Rams in St. Louis.
