Less than two weeks.

One final game at home.
One powerful purpose.

On May 16, we take the field at Salem Football Stadium not just to compete—but to remember. To honor. To stand for something greater than ourselves.

📍 Salem Football Stadium
🗓️ May 16, 2026
⏰ Parking Lot: 2:00 PM | Kickoff: 3:15 PM

We play for charity.
We play for awareness.
We play for Autumn.

The Rampage has always stood on Play for a Purpose—and this time, that purpose means everything.

Join us as we come together for a night that goes beyond football.

5th Annual Franklin County VA Animal Shelter Benefit 04-25-26.

We had a great turnout to help deliver the very much needed Fur Baby food, bedding, toys, etc.... all made possible by donations from:

Local Business .... Petco, Walmart, Tractor Supply, Southern States

Sister Abate Chapters .... Purgatory Mountain Chapter, Catawba Valley Chapter, Halesford Brigade/SML Chapter, Star City Chapter, and our Mountain Thunder/Bent Mtn Chapter members.

Individual Donations ..... The Blue Knights, and many Generous Anonymous others.

Our hats are off to all of the special people @ FCAS that provide 24/7-365 selfless care and relentless "FOR EVER HOME" searching for all the Fur babies.

Special Thanks to Mountain Thunder President - David Lester for transporting, and all who helped make this a successful event.

Mountain Thunder looks forward to the 6th Annual 2027 benefit !
