Pigskin Pick ’Em Challenge kicks off this week

Are you ready for some football? Are you ready to win gift certificates to local eateries?

 

This week marks the return of The Daniel Island News Pigskin Pick ’Em Challenge, a 22-week contest pitting readers against sponsors and other readers for a chance to win a gift card to a local restaurant.

 

This week’s sponsor to beat is Garret McNally of Mac’s Daniel Island. The winner receives a gift card to his establishment. It’s also a great place to watch the games! 

 

The challenge is a fun way for readers to compete for gift certificates to local businesses and for sponsors to compete to receive a $500 donation from The Daniel Island News to the charity of their choice.

 

You can enter the contest by entering the link in the headline to this article into your browser or by clicking on the link on our Facebook page. You can also sign up to receive the ballot via email each Tuesday by contacting katherine@thedanielislandnews.com. Entries must be submitted by 5 p.m. on Friday to be eligible (prior to the start of high school games).

 

The sponsor challenge is wide open this year. Can defending champion Garret McNally of Mac’s repeat? 

 

Not if returning sponsors Michael E. Patterson Jr. and Chris Mingledorff of Mingledorff & Patterson, Attorney at Law, Carolina One’s Nancy Crick and Gabe Jolly, or Edie Coupe of Daniel Island Real Estate have anything to say about it.

 

And, returning sponsors will have to fend off two new sponsors, attorney Jimmy Foti of Foti Law Offices and Russ Dearie and James Pryor if i9 Sports.

 

Rounding out the competition is The Daniel Island News sportswriter Phil Bowman. 

 

Support these sponsors by using their services and compete against them each week for an opportunity to win great gift certificates.
