NC-based Famous Toastery named title sponsor for Charlotte college football bowl game
A Charlotte-based chain will have its name on the Queen City’s latest bowl game.
ESPN Events announced Tuesday morning that Famous Toastery will be the title sponsor of the upcoming bowl game in Charlotte. The Famous Toastery Bowl is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 18, at Jerry Richardson Stadium.
“The Famous Toastery Bowl is a perfect showcase for those that are not quite familiar with Famous Toastery and the city of Charlotte,” Mike Sebazco, president of Famous Toastery, said in the release about the company’s first sports partnership. “We’re extremely proud to be involved with the game and the opportunity it presents to these student athletes.”
This bowl game, which will kick off at 2:30 p.m. and air on ESPN, was moved to Charlotte for this year after the Bahamas Bowl announced it wouldn’t be held this year due to stadium renovations. This bowl, usually featuring teams from the Mid-American Conference and Conference USA, is expected to return to the Bahamas in 2024.
“We’re thrilled to have such a beloved locally-based company like Famous Toastery as the sponsor for our college football bowl game in Charlotte,” Clint Overby, vice president of ESPN Events, said in the release. “The move to the Charlotte 49ers’ Jerry Richardson Stadium and this sponsorship all came together very quickly, and we are very thankful to have such supportive partners for this bowl game.”
The matchup and ticket information will be announced on Sunday, Dec. 3.
