UT's Alpha Delta Pi chapter held its third annual Turkey Tailgate Saturday at Fiji Island in Knoxville.

ADPi always holds a tailgate before the last UT home football game of the season to benefit its philanthropy, the Ronald McDonald House. This year it took place three hours prior to the UT vs. Vanderbilt game.

We raised more than $2,000 just from our auction, and the best part of this event was that all of the proceeds went to the Ronald McDonald House. Toree Walker, sophomore ADPi member

The Ronald McDonald House is a "home away from home" for the families of seriously ill children that are receiving treatment from hospitals nearby.

With the purchase of an $8  ticket, friends and family received tons of food including turkey, hamburgers, turkey burgers, beans and cole slaw. Rita's in Market Square also provided italian ice and McAlister's Deli provided sweet tea. They were also given the opportunity to participate in a corn hole tournament.

There was also a silent auction at the event. The proceeds to it went to the Ronald McDonald House as well.

"We raised more than $2,000 just from our auction, and the best part of this event was that all of the proceeds went to the Ronald McDonald House," sophomore ADPi member, Toree Walker, said.

ADPi members all got the opportunity to participate, as they worked the event in shifts.

"I was extremely excited and impressed to see the great turn out we received this year. There was a long line to get food the whole time I was serving," Walker said.
