AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The Peach Belt Conference and
league commissioner David Brunk are pleased to announce that the
league has reached a partnership agreement with Taylor BMW. With
this agreement, Taylor will become the 'Official BMW
Dealership of the Peach Belt Conference.'
The new partnership will allow Taylor access to promotions of all
types at PBC Championship events in the CSRA, beginning with the
PBC Men's and Women's Basketball Tournament in Aiken
which starts March 4.
"We are thrilled that Taylor BMW has decided to join the
Peach Belt in promoting our student-athletes and member
institutions," said Brunk. "With our league bringing
more of our championship events to Augusta and the CSRA, this is a
tremendous opportunity for both the PBC and Taylor BMW to work
together to enrich the championship experience not only for our
student-athletes, but for fans of the PBC as well."
Founded in 1993 by Ann Taylor, just two years after the Peach Belt
Conference was founded, Taylor BMW is located at 4180 Washington
Road in Evans, Ga. Rated as one of the top dealerships in customer
satisfaction, Taylor is one of the top 10 BMW dealerships in the
nation and won the BMW President's Award last year.
"We have been looking for an opportunity to extend our
community relations and the Peach Belt Championship series caught
our eye as a premier event featuring some of the best athletes,
coaches, their families and the supporting students from all over
the southeast," said Will Foster, General Manager of Taylor
BMW.
"This conference is scholastically and competitively on a
very positive track and we wanted to align ourselves with
organizations that we compare with our dealership. Taylor BMW has
continued to grow and achieve high honors within our industry
despite challenging times. Joining the Peach Belt Conference as a
sponsor is a logical step and fits into our goals toward developing
partnerships with companies and organizations that have a clear
path to success despite the negative news in the media. We are
thrilled to be associated with the Peach Belt Conference and hope
that we can help spread the word and encourage local families to
attend and support these fantastic events."
With the announcement of the partnership, Taylor BMW and the Peach
Belt have also announced several promotional activities that will
take place at the PBC Basketball Tournament March 4-8.
First is the 'Taylor BMW Ultimate Drive to the
Championship' which will give a full PBC Basketball
tournament pass, good for all games at the championship, to
everyone who test drives a Taylor BMW from Feb. 25-March 4. 200
passes will be given out at the dealership, fans will also have the
opportunity to shoot hoops for a tournament pass.
The 'Taylor BMW Ultimate Shootout' will give one lucky
fan the opportunity to win a BMW of their own. At halftime of each
PBC Tournament game at the USCA Convocation Center, two fans will
shoot free throws for 35 seconds, the fan who makes the most will
advance in a bracket-style competition. The winner will then have
the opportunity to make a lay-up, a free throw, a three-pointer and
a half-court shot in 35 seconds to win a BMW.
