The Georgia Southern Athletic Department and Eagle Sports Marketing would like to extend their thanks to all Georgia Southern Fans for making Saturday's “Blue Out” and the Domino's Pizza canned food drive such great successes. The canned food drive surpassed its goal, raising over 2,000 pounds of food to be donated to the Statesboro Food Bank. The “Blue Out” was also a huge hit.
“I want to thank everyone involved in making the ?Blue Out' happen this past Saturday,” remarked Brent Jones, Director of Athletic Marketing for Georgia Southern. “We had over 23,000 fans show up. It was the third largest crowd in the history of Paulson Stadium and it was amazing to see the sea of blue that filled the stands. I also want to thank Domino's for helping us reach our goal with the canned food drive. I love the fact that we were able to team up with one of our sponsors to accomplish such a great thing.”
While the actual promotion is finished, Eagle Sports Marketing will continue to accept canned food donations through Thanksgiving. Donations can be made at room 2202 in Hanner Fieldhouse. For additional information, you can contact Eagle Sports Marketing at 912-681-1500.
