SEPTEMBER 16, 2017 — COACHES FOR CHARITY AZTEC CLASSIC football game

AIR FORCE PREP ACADEMY vs. PIMA COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Thank you Chuck Stopani and family for helping set up and staff the DM50 Tailgate table yesterday, and to Janet Hare and her family for hanging in there and passing out close to 2000 tickets to Davis Monthan Airmen at the Houston/Arizona DM50 Tailgate yesterday. We appreciate your support!

Special thanks to Bob Logan and Chip Yetzer from DM50 for partnering with us, and Robert Santiago from eegees for sponsoring the tickets.

This should be a great event for Pima College and Coaches for Charity! If you would like to help with the game, please let me or Edgar Soto (esoto@pima.edu) know.
