We're in the thick of football season and certainly Eckrich is the food behind great tailgate and game day meals all over the country. They're also paving the way to the National Championship with some exciting opportunities for fans. Leah Rubertino came by to tell us more.
In July, Eckrich became the official smoked sausage and deli meat sponsor of the 2017 College Football Playoff. To celebrate, Eckrich launched the Road to the National Championship sweepstakes where 14 lucky fans around the country will have the chance to throw for one Million Dollars at some of the biggest college football games of the year including the 2017 National Championship Game in Tampa, Florida. Each week during the college football season one lucky fan will be selected to make a throw from 25 yards away; the goal will be to complete a pass through an on-field target. If successful, the fan will win ONE MILLION DOLLARS. But that's not all. If the throw is unsuccessful the fan will get a second chance. This time, the throw will be from 10 yards away. If this pass is successful the fan will receive ONE YEAR of FREE GROCERIES, courtesy of Eckrich.
This week, the one Million Dollar throw will take place during the TCU @ Baylor game. For more information on how to enter for a chance to throw for one Million Dollars fans can look for specially marked packages of Eckrich Smoked Sausage and go to www.EckrichFootball.com to enter. As part of the sweepstakes launch, Eckrich also launched a new website, eckrichfootball.com, which provides fans with all the information needed to enter the Road to the National Championship sweepstakes.
