I’ve been getting quite a few phone calls from coaches, players, moms and dads wondering where their invitation to the Silver Pigskin Gala is.  What started as a party for 100 in our Pigskin Studios at KUSI-TV has now grown into a VIP shindig for over 400 at the Hall of Champions.  Even with a guest list that large, we still can’t accommodate everybody who wants to attend the most exclusive Pigskin Party in Southern California.

Invitations will go out later this week, which means they should start arriving in mailboxes by this weekend.  As we promote on the show, all Play of the Week winners, Shack's Pig Pen inductees, featured Student Athletes, Chargers Coaches of the Week and their guests will be invited.  We also reserve space for the Silver Pigskin Finalists and their families.  Sponsors of the show and other special guests swell the guest list to over 350.  All 9 previous Silver Pigskin winners are invited, as well, and then consider the live entertainment! The 100-piece Westview Wolverine Marching Band (and their handlers) will be performing.  As you can see, seating at the Hall of Champions fills quickly.

If it isn’t your good fortune to be able to attend the event in person, you can still feel a part of the party by watching the prime time coverage on Friday, December 19th, at 9pm.  The 60-minute broadcast will feature mascots from 20 different schools, along with a special guest mascot that everybody knows and loves.  We have a few other surprises planned so my message is simple: Invitations will soon be in the mail.  If you don’t get one don’t pout.  Instead, support the PPR by watching the Gala on TV.  Speaking on behalf of so many people who work so hard on this show, your viewership makes the effort worthwhile.
