INDIAN LAND, S.C.–Sharonview Federal Credit Union said it will be sponsoring athletic programs at three universities in the Carolinas this year.
The credit union is backing the UNC Charlotte 49ers, Furman University Paladins and Wofford College Terriers.
According to Sharonview, the partnerships include the football programs at each of the three universities. Each sponsorship includes:
- Free tickets. Sharonview will offer its members free tickets to all home games. Registration for tickets is available at sharonview.org/collegesports. Tickets will be distributed on a first come, first served basis.
- Family fun. Specifically, there’s the Kickoff Kid program for each athletic program’s respective home games. Each home game will feature one lucky child, between the ages of 5 and 12, who is registered and pre-selected to be the Kickoff Kid. The Kickoff Kids get to join their team on the sidelines and retrieve kicking tees.
‘On-Field Fun’
Sharonview said each Kickoff Kid and their families will be treated to four tickets to the game and accompanying hospitality passes.
“In addition to the on-field fun, a video message about Sharonview, featuring that game’s Kid, will be played for the fans in attendance,” the credit union said.
Sharonview said it began its partnership with the 49ers in 2016. It added the Paladins and Terriers to its sponsorship roster in 2020, but the pandemic halted athletic events.
