Boca Raton’s favorite college football spirit night returns with fan-favorite “food, fun and fundraising” featuring top area chefs, brewmasters and mixologists. Setting off an early wave of Palm Beach County pride for the RoofClaim.com Boca Raton Bowl -- the County’s only NCAA-sanctioned college football bowl game -- this casual, outdoor open-to-the-public night brimming with creative culinary, craft beer and cocktail samplings benefit Spirit of Giving’s Annual Holiday Gift Drive. In friendly competition, local restaurant, hotel and catering chefs will bring their A-game to “score a win” by putting their signature twists on tailgate classics as several popular breweries and mixologists share samplings of their popular themed blends. A panel of expert “foodie” media and bloggers will judge entries in a variety of categories. This community networking and the pride-rallying event includes plenty of college football camaraderie as guests are encouraged to come out wearing their own alma mater colors and jerseys to mingle with community and business leaders and ESPN on-air personalities and cast their own “People’s Choice” vote for their favorite food and beverage entry.
