Who is Tailgate Caravan?
Tailgate Caravan started several years ago, when some friends got together for a tailgate party prior to Dave Matthews Band concerts. Each year, a few more friends joined the party. Eventually, the party took over almost the entire rooftop of the garage parking deck in Camden.  A couple of the guys got together, and realized that they could turn their tailgate party into something much bigger and better. From there, Tailgate Caravan was born!
While we love to bring people together, the main purpose of our tailgates is raise money for our charities. Our primary charities are National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Bucks County Chapter, and the Music Resource Center (MRC) in Charlottesville. We also work regularly with the Matt Wadleigh LoVE Foundation.
"When you give, you begin to live." - Dave Matthews
