The sweepstakes is spotlighting the Athletic Department's celebration of its 125th anniversary during the Trojan Family Weekend football game, using the most powerful form of communication—storytelling. Trojan alumni and fans can participate by entering the sweepstakes with a photo and short story at www.USCSuperFans.com. To add to the excitement, fans can enter online, and also get a second entry on Facebook. All participant entries will be showcased on a Super FAM FAN photo gallery, where visitors can read, share, and post comments to social media. "On game day, many of these photos will be selected and featured on the USC video board during the game," explained Jose Eskenazi, USC Associate Athletic Director. "It's our way of acknowledging the loyalty that Trojan families have demonstrated to us throughout our celebrated history."
Every family has a story, and Creative Productions hopes to collect inspiring, funny, heartwarming and meaningful Trojan stories from the broad base of Trojan alumni and fans. "If you love USC, or are connected in spirit, you are part of the greater "Trojan Family" and we want you to tell your story," added Dan Shell, Vice President and General Manager of USC Sports Properties. "We are pleased that our marketing partner, Creative Productions, wanted to create this special experience for Trojan families, and USC Sports Properties was all in." The sweepstakes will be promoted through social media, digital advertising, and email, along with outreach to alumni groups, sports enthusiasts and Trojan families.
Creative Productions has its own Trojan family story. Founder Deborah Castro and board member Larry Castro, have a long history with USC, and are currently parent representatives on the USC Alumni Board of Governors. Deborah is vice-chair of Marshall Partners South Bay, and both are longtime supporters of Trojan Athletics. Their son, Andrew Castro, is a senior at the Sol Price School of Public Policy. "We believe this sweepstakes is a great way to highlight the meaning of the Trojan Family, and celebrate what makes USC a family like no other." The promotion underscores the significance of USC's fundraising campaign, which provides an opportunity to give back and pave the way for the next 125 years of Trojan family stories.
