CLCB Partners With USC |
February 16, 2007—Gamecock Athletics has entered into a partnership with Coach Low
Country Brands to offer a Gamecock-branded bottle of seasoning to fans across the
state and region, it was announced today. Two dollars from the sale of each Gamecock
bottle of seasoning will benefit student-athletes at the University of South Carolina.
One dollar will be donated to the Gamecock Club for student-athlete scholarships
and one dollar will be donated to the building campaign for the Academic Enrichment
Center.
“We are very excited about the partnership with Coach Low Country Brands,” said
Athletics Director Eric Hyman. “Our student-athletes will benefit each time someone
in the Gamecock Nation purchases some of this special seasoning.” Twenty-three ounce
bottles of the Gamecock seasoning will be available beginning in mid-February at
Bi-Lo, Wal-Mart and Piggly Wiggly stores around the state. Coach’s Low Country Brands,
owned and operated by “Coach” Joe Crosby, is headquartered in Seneca, S.C. As a
former student-athlete and coach, Crosby has always understood the need for financial
support of the athletic and academic programs within all educational levels.
"We are so proud to be involved with the University of South Carolina through this
partnership. Our company got its start right here in South Carolina and we feel
it is important to give back and support education in our state," said Crosby, President
and CEO of Coach's Low Country Brands. The kickoff for the partnership, open to
the media and invited guests, will take place on Friday, Feb. 16 from noon – 1p.m.
at Williams-Brice Stadium. A short press conference will be followed by a low country
boil provided by Coach’s Low Country Brands.
