Athletic Auction Pitch

Tuesday, our PR class pitched our ideas for the 2010 Athletic Auction here at Georgia College & State University. I was the A.E. for my group which consisted of two other class members. Our idea centered around the success of the GCSU Athletics Department. Last year, GCSU won the Peach Belt Conference's Commissioner's Cup, which means that GCSU had the most successful Athletics Department in the conference. Because we wanted to convey that image to our guests, the image that they would be giving to a program that is successful, we thought that they attendees would spend more money. We also brought in local aspects that would be familiar to our guests. GCSU is located in an area in Georgia called "Lake Country". We are within a close distance to many lakes. The theme that my group chose was "Fishing For Bobcat Success". We wanted to show how successful our teams our while placing it into a comfortable lake setting. Although our idea was not chosen, we know that the Athletic Department appreciated our time and efforts. The theme chosen was a Hollywood theme. I am anxious to see the final results and have full confidence that the event will be wonderful and flawless and that the guests will have a great time and spend money to help our school.
