We are excited to support the V Foundation for Cancer Research, an organization committed to declaring Victory Over Cancer® in honor of the late Derrick Antwan "Buji" High, brother of Anthony High who was a recipient of a separate ticket giveaway that occurred this past season. Derrick "Buji" High is a NC State alum and former NCSU track star ('02-'03) who holds records in the 60m, 400m, 4x400, 

Anthony High won tickets to the 2021 season's NC State vs Clemson football game and ended up attending the game with his brother Derrick "Buji" High.  The following day, on September 26th, 2021, due to unforeseen medical issues, "Buji" tragically and unexpectedly passed away.  Anthony informed Tuffy Talk that the last moments he spent with his brother were watching State defeat Clemson in Carter-Finley Stadium cheering on the Wolfpack, and that the evening was something he will cherish as a lasting memory for him and his family knowing he could spend time brother before ultimately passing away,  Anthony High informed Tuffy Talk that he has since framed the parking pass used for that game and a picture of his brother "Buji" as a loving memory of that last evening together.  Because of this impactful story, the guys with Tuffy Talk would like to establish an annual ticket giveaway in honor of Derrick "Buji" Antwan High.

By making a donation to the V Foundation through this website, you will be supporting carefully vetted, cutting-edge research at prominent cancer centers nationwide.  And not only that, but your donation will enroll you to potentially win a HUGE giveaway!  

Would you consider donating, not only two win a couple tickets to a much-anticipated rivalry football game, but also to help the fight against cancer, honor the family of Derrick "Buji" High, and the spirit of Wolfpack Nation?  Any amount is greatly appreciated!  


NOTE: When donating, PLEASE leave us a way to contact you should you win the lottery for this giveaway - whether that is a Twitter handle, email address or phone number!
