Florida Athletics Partners With CAMPUS for Fan Engagement & NIL Solutions
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - August 19, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
The University of Florida Athletics Department announced today an "all-in" partnership with CAMPUS to elevate its fan experience and provide NIL solutions for student-athletes. CAMPUS, co-founded by Gators legend Tim Tebow, provides a turnkey NIL solution for athletic departments and student-athletes that upgrades fandom by creating new VIP experiences for fans.
"We believe this will be a game-changer for our football program to lead the nation in the NIL resources available to our student-athletes," said Florida head football coach Billy Napier. "I'm calling for all Gators fans to join CAMPUS and support our student-athletes, which will be critical as we strive to return our program to its championship tradition."
CAMPUS provides media, marketing, e-commerce and tech services to universities and athletes to sell Tokens (NFTs) featuring the school and/or athlete, which "unlock" special access to digital or real-life experiences that appeal to fans. Limited-edition CAMPUS Tokens featuring individual Florida student-athletes and groups of student-athletes will be released at CAMPUS.io throughout the upcoming football season. Each Token comes with exclusive ownership benefits and can even be re-sold on CAMPUS' marketplace, providing additional opportunities for the athlete to earn NIL income.
"CAMPUS is an outstanding solution for our athletic department to set the standard in NFTs and NIL support for student-athletes," said Florida director of athletics Scott Stricklin. "Giving our fans the best experience is essential and CAMPUS's approach and technology give us new and exciting ways to engage Gator Nation."
To start, fans can visit CAMPUS.io to register for a CAMPUS account. New student-athlete Tokens will "drop" each week throughout the season but each has a limited scarcity, meaning fans will need to visit CAMPUS.io consistently and act quickly to get the Tokens they want for their Program. As a fan, you can add Tokens to Build Your Program and move up CAMPUS Leaderboards which also helps Florida build its programs to move up in national rankings. Partnering with CAMPUS gives both current and potential student-athletes another compelling reason why Florida is an attractive choice for their college experience. Each time a Token featuring a student-athlete is sold, that student-athlete receives an instant royalty payment.
"Just how new tech led to a better gameday experience at The Swamp and new tech led to better behind-the-scenes content on social media, the new tech we're using will lead to better access and more memorable moments for fans," said CAMPUS co-Founder and CEO Christine Menedis. "We're empowering everyone involved. CAMPUS gives fans an opportunity to directly impact their team's roster in a way never before possible."
"I'm so pumped for how my alma mater is going to benefit from CAMPUS," said Tebow. "Gator Nation is going to love collecting these Tokens and receiving all the benefits they unlock."

SOMERSET, Mass. - August 18, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Today, Solar Cannabis Co. (Solar) announced its "Team Green" runners participating in the 50th Falmouth Road Race raised a $13,500 donation to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (Dana-Farber), a world leader in adult and pediatric cancer treatment and research.
In support of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, employees of Solar created "Team Green," who will be participating in the 50th running of the historical Falmouth Road Race on Aug. 21, 2022. Team Green, which comprises 11 runners, banded together to create a first-of-its-kind, cannabis-industry race team and successfully helped raise a $13,500 donation to aid in Dana-Farber's mission to defy cancer. Dana-Farber is renowned as one of the leading cancer treatment and research institutions in the Northeast and provides adults and children battling cancer the very best treatment available today while developing tomorrow's cures through cutting-edge research.
"We are so humbled and couldn't be more grateful for the funds raised by Team Green runners and the donations we received from a mix of amazing friends, family, and partners," said Derek Gould, Director of Marketing and Communications at Solar Cannabis Co.
Solar's employees conceptualized Team Green to not only generate funds and awareness for Dana-Farber's mission, but also raise awareness of cannabis' positive role in mitigating - or even removing - cancerous symptoms and side effects of various cancer treatments. All of Team Green's fundraising will be donated to Dana-Farber's "Unrestricted Funds" program for their patients. These funds cover any procedures or treatments or treatment aids that are not covered by traditional insurance and make a daily difference in the care, comfort, and life of each and every patient.
"There are so many people that have been directly impacted by cancer in one way or another," said Gould. "To be able to deliver this donation to Dana-Farber and support their mission to defy cancer is truly a remarkable feat that we couldn't have done alone."
In addition to the funds raised by Team Green runners, other support and donations included Solar Cannabis Co., Hub International, BayCoast Bank, Advance Manufacturing Co., Corporate Image Apparel, The American Legion, Last Prisoner Project, MassEON, and The South Coast LGBTQ+ Network. Following the 50th running of the Falmouth Road Race, Solar will be hosting a finish line after-party at the Falmouth Raw Bar, which will feature food, beverages, and more.
