ANDERSON, S.C. – The Anderson University football program, alongside the Office of Development has announced the 2nd Annual AU Trojans Football Jamboree, which is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 22.

"What an exciting time to be a part of Anderson University," said Anderson Vice President for Athletics, Dr. Bert Epting, Jr. "The opportunity to welcome Coach Mark Richt to our campus and for him to share in our excitement of adding football at AU is beyond humbling. He has taken his teams to the pinnacle of one of the toughest conferences in NCAA Division I, and we hope to do the same thing here at the Division II level with Coach Lamb and our Trojans. The Football Jamboree is one of many ways that we are raising support for the program. It provides the opportunity for more in our community to learn about the many great things happening at AU, including the start of Trojan football. We look forward to a great night and many great years to come as we build a football program that will represent our university and our local community with excellence both on and off the field of play. Go Trojans!"

The evening of food, giving and fellowship is scheduled to kick off with a VIP Reception in the Merritt Administration Building at 5:30 p.m., where Retired Georgia and Miami Head Coach Mark Richt will be available for photos and autographs.

Following the reception, Coach Richt will be the keynote speaker at a dinner in the G. Ross Anderson, Jr. Student Center, beginning at 6:30 p.m.
