PARK IT WITH ROTARY!
Friday, October 16, 2026

6-1 Gallatin Green Wave Football vs 6-1 Beech Buccaneer Football

All Gallatin and Beech fans are invited to park with the Gallatin Rotary volunteers for this huge high school football game.

$5 donation per vehicle includes a $6 Sonic Drive-in voucher valid across all of Middle Tennessee!
- volunteers to organize parking
- great lighting
- easy walk to the stadium
- controlled egress after the game

And 100% of the money raised goes directly to our Club's support of the Miracle Park at Triple Creek Park benefiting families with special needs across all of Sumner County!

Set your GPS to 535 East Main Street in Gallatin and look for our volunteers to wave you in!
