WHAT WE DO

MCGC EVERYTHING

We’re committed to bringing Gator Spirit and Gator pride to the Music City.
Through everything from fun group events to community service, we rep Orange and Blue in everything we do!

WATCH PARTIES

WATCH PARTIES

We watch every Gator football game together at our official viewing party venue Central BBQ (Hillsboro). When you arrive, get ready to have a good time and cheer for the Orange and Blue!

Watch this page and social media for info about viewing parties for select games during basketball, baseball, and softball season too!

SPECIAL EVENTS

Every good Gator knows how to party, especially in Music City! In addition to gathering at mixers, Young Alumni events, music showcases and athletic events, Music City Gator Club is known across the country for its one-of-a-kind bash the night before the Florida vs. Vanderbilt football game in even-numbered years. In 2018, more than a thousand Gators - including the UF band and cheerleaders - attended our party on Broadway. Don't miss 2022!

SCHOLARSHIPS

Part of our mission as a Gator Club is to raise funds for scholarships. Each year we give a financial award to one or more local students attending UF. In addition, we contribute to the Florida Opportunity Scholars fund.
If you’re a rising senior from Middle Tennessee and planning to attend UF or a current UF student from the area, email us for information about how to apply for our annual award.

GATOR ATHLETICS

GATOR ATHLETICS

Music City Gator Club loves to support Gator athletic teams when they play here in Nashville. Whether it's a tailgate BBQ with the lacrosse team, the conference ice hockey championships at the Ford Ice Center, or watching basketball or baseball at Vanderbilt, we fill the stands with orange and blue!

We frequently obtain blocks of tickets for football, basketball, and baseball games within the regional area. Be sure to watch this page, our email newsletter, and social media for info on how you can join the fun!

COMMUNITY SERVICE

Music City Gator Club participates in a number of community service projects throughout the year. In our premier event each May, we invite all local Gators to join us for International Gator Day, a day set aside for Gator Clubs around the world to serve their communities.

Past service projects have included hands-on help at Tennessee Baptist Children’s Homes, Second Harvest Food Bank, Ronald McDonald House, and Operation Stand Down. We have also helped canvas and spread the word for Crossroads Campus, spent time with youth from My Friend's House, taken adoptable shelter dogs hiking, and participated in golf and running fundraisers for worthy charities.

There’s a place for you to serve with fellow Gators! Interested? Email us.
