America is Tailgating Again; The American Tailgater Co. to Donate Proceeds from Flag Sales to Red Cross

    CHICAGO, IL--Oct. 4, 2001--As the American people returned to their favorite stadiums over the past two weeks, they also made a return to their favorite parking lots...to tailgate.
    "Football is going to be a part of the healing process for many Americans and their families," noted Luke Lincoln, President and Co-founder of The American Tailgater Company. "Tailgating and football are two avenues that will allow the American people more opportunities to spend time with their families and friends."
    The American Tailgater Company will also do its part and donate all proceeds from flag sales to the Red Cross.
    "We wanted to help in any way we could," said Mr. Lincoln. "This is just our way of helping aid the relief effort."
