Save The Date

Currently we are set to host the event Sunday, July 24th from 5-8pm at the Wolfpack’s Indoor Practice Facility. 

This is a special date for us, as IPS launched five years ago to the day!

 Food Information

There will be food served, which is likely to be provided by Redneck BBQ Lab, which is operated by Mercedes Harris, the daughter of former NC State assistant Larry Harris.

The current plan is a buffet-style catering event, and each meal will include: 2 meats, 2 sides, 1 bread, 1 dessert, and a drink.

Silent Auctions

We will have several items available through a silent auction, and proceeds from the auctions will go back into the Elite+ fund.

- Original 1983 and 1974 National Championship Sport Illustrated magazines, matted and framed together.

- NC State official game day football autographed by coach Dave Doeren

- NC State official game day football autographed by all of the athletes in attendance at the event

- Replica helmet autographed by Devin Leary

- Basketball autographed by Terquavion Smith

- Basketball autographed by Sidney Lowe

What We’re Doing

We'll share additional information in the near future, but the current plan is to have a minimum of 16 athletes on hand. So far we've confirmed Thayer Thomas, Drake Thomas, Payton Wilson, Porter Rooks, Tanner Ingle, Shy Battle, Derrek Pitts, and Savion Jackson. Also trying to secure Devin Leary and several more.

You can bring items to the event to be autographed, but we are asking that you limit that to two items.

If time allows, we may hold a Q&A session where you can ask questions of several of the athletes.

We're still putting together the full event schedule, but other possibilities include:

* A QB competition – assuming we can secure Devin Leary and another QB.

* A Cornhole Tournament where an Elite member will be paired up with an athlete. We'll have more info on this shortly. The hope is to turn the tournament into a fundraiser for the athletes that participate in the event.

* A guest speaker -- preferrably coach Doeren, but that will be determined based on his schedule.

* There will be a donation box and cash app QR code available to allow you to make a donation. Those funds and the funds raised through the cornhole tournament will be divided equally among the athletes in attendance.

Sponsorship Opportunities

Parting Shots

We want this to be a fun, informal get together.  As we’ve stated, we are still building the format – so the notes above are subject to change. 

Right now our No. 1 priority is locking in a firm number for a headcount which will allow us to properly schedule the venue and catering.
