Wofford announces “Creative Energy” events
SPARTANBURG, SC – On March 13, the City of Spartanburg and a number of community partners, including Wofford Sports Marketing, launched a new initiative aimed at highlighting the creativity of the greater Spartanburg community.
“Spartanburg Creative Energy” is an 18-month initiative seeking to strengthen the civic spirit of community pride and participation and reinforce the growing perception of Spartanburg as a progressive City that encourages innovation and personal expression, resulting in increased economic development and tourism.
Beginning in March, Wofford Athletics will highlight at least one contest per month as the “Creative Energy” game, inviting students, fans and alumni to think outside the box and join the Terriers in this community initiative.
Here is a listing of the first three “Creative Energy” events hosted by Wofford Sports Marketing:
Tuesday, March 25, 4:00 p.m.
Baseball vs. Presbyterian
The kids take over Russell C. King Field for this special afternoon “Day Care Day” celebration. Already over 100 area children are slated to take part in the fun which will include free schedule posters for everyone as well as special “rules of the game” flyers for the kids. To top things off, the children will assist the in the game operations by announcing the batters and pitching changes during the game. Admission is free.
Tuesday, April 8, 4:00 p.m.
Men’s tennis vs. Appalachian State
Feel like being a part of history? Come out to the Reeves Tennis Center on Tuesday, April 8 for “OPERATION: 888” as the Wofford men’s tennis team attempts to break their own Southern Conference attendance mark. Last year, 723 fans attended an April match against Furman. This year’s goal is to attract at least 888 fans with the help of Wofford Dining Services and the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Upstate. Admission is free and there will be special drawings for prizes throughout the event. Wofford Dining Services will be serving the evening meal at the Tennis Center. The general public may purchase a cook-out plate for $5.00.
Wednesday, May 7, 7:00 p.m.
Baseball vs. South Carolina
We empty the promotional closet for this annual sell-out between the Terriers and Gamecocks. There will be “Dizzy Plumbers,” a “Crawl For Cash,” a quest for knowledge in our “Trivia Challenge” and much more. Tickets are $10 for reserved seats and $5 for standing room only tickets (available night of game only).
