What is Carolina Kick-Off?

We combine two of Gamecock Nation's favorite pastimes: food and football. Football is the main entertainment as fans watch the Gamecock's via big screen TVs in The Zone at Williams-Brice Stadium as they travel to the Arkansas to take on the Razorbacks. Participants enjoy an indoor tailgate feast of delicious food from some of the area's favorite restaurants as well as complimentary beer and wine. Other activities include a large silent and live auction, a fun-filled photobooth, cornhole and other tailgate games. All proceeds benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

This year, we are celebrating our 5th year of the event. Since 2009, we have raised more than $136,000 to support life-saving research, quality care, and effective therapies for people with CF.
