After the game, there will be a spectacular fireworks display put on by Queen City Pyro Production along with a concert by Model Behavior Money raised from this event is used to help people in need in DELHI TOWNSHIP THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. Since 1991, the DELHI SKIRT GAME COMMITTEE HAS SPENT $1.1 million on 268 recipients. This has included the purchase of several handicapped equipped vans and payment of thousands of dollars in mortgages and utility bills. Money is raised in DELHI, stays in DELHI AND IS 100% given back to the community. In addition to the SKIRT GAME AND THE MANY RECIPIENTS THAT WE HAVE HELPED, 9 years ago the SKIRT GAME Committee in cooperation with the DELHI POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS STARTED A PROGRAM CALLED KIDS, Cops 'n Firefighters. This program takes kids from DELHI SHOPPING AT CHRISTMAS TIME. In the 9 years since this program's inception we have spent $190,000 on approximately 1200 kids. While this fund is administered through the SKIRT GAME, none of the money spent on these kids has come from the SKIRT Game itself. The committee has a separate golf outing and relies on donations from the community for the continuation of this charitable work. Questions?
