The 2025 Bearcat Tailgate event will be held on Friday, September 27, 2023, 5:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m., just before the BCCHS Homecoming Game!
Please bring your lawn chair to our Tailgate location on the north lawn of Battle Creek Central High School, 100 W. Van Buren Street, Battle Creek, Michigan. (Rain location will be at the Commons at Central High School.)
BCPSEF is committed to raising funds until the financial gap for post-secondary education is eliminated for ALL BEARCATS! We know post-secondary education is more than tuition, it’s books and fees, transportation, technology (laptops, etc.), equipment (tool belts, etc.), costs for apprenticeships and certifications, trade schools, and the list goes on…we can do this TOGETHER, because that’s who we are!
The 2025 Tailgate will feature grilled hotdogs, various sides and a dessert, fun yard games, amazing community partners, and a thank you to all of our wonderful BCPSEF donors! Whether you attend the Tailgate or not, your sponsorship or contribution is appreciated -- donate at
