Purdue Pete and the Purdue Boilermakers football team hosted 25 seriously ill children and family members at this past weekend's home football game against Eastern Illinois. The Boilers handled Eastern Illinois easily, defeating the Panthers 52-6.
The children enjoyed a delicious tailgate party hosted before the game and thoroughly enjoyed themselves at the game.
Thanks to Purdue University and the Boilers Athletic Department for making the event a success. This is the first annual trip to Purdue for Special Spectators, and Purdue marks the 4th Big Ten university to join the Special Spectators list of programs. Other Big Ten universities are: Illinois, Northwestern, and Indiana.
