Bayonne to hold tailgate fundraiser for teams

BAYONNE – Mayor James Davis has announced the first Bayonne High School Varsity Football “Season Opener Tailgate” will be held on Friday, Sept. 18 at 5 p.m. at Don Ahern Veterans Stadium.
The event will take place prior to Bayonne versus Bloomfield, the first home game of the season.
“We’re celebrating a dynamic time in the history of Bayonne athletics,” Davis said. “We now have a brand-new state-of-the-art field, major improvements to our ice rink are underway, and we have capital improvements slated for our parks and recreation facilities throughout the city.”
The tailgate will feature food trucks, shaved ice, and a football toss. There will be a $5 minimum donation for the event.
All proceeds will benefit the Bayonne High School All Sports Booster Club.
“We are excited, the coaches are excited, and the fans are excited,” Davis said. “I hope to see everyone on the 18th as we kick off this season and celebrate the use of our newest facility.”
