2014 All In Ball Huge Success, Exceeds Goals

 

On Friday April 11th, Kathleen and Dabo Swinney teamed with Blue Ridge Security Solutions to host the fifth annual All In Ball at the Clemson Football Indoor Facility. A record of $350,000 after expenses was raised for Dabo’s All in Team Foundation!

Nationally recognized sports talk host Mark “Packman” Packer and former Miss SouthCarolina Ali Rogers served as the “Masters of Ceremonies”. Country Music star Josh Turner provided music entertainment and NFL Hall of Fame Coach Joe Gibbs provided the keynote address. New York Jets Head Coach Rex Ryan, ESPN announcer/Game-Day host Kirk Herbstreit, and former Clemson players Tajh Boyd, Sammy Watkins, Dwayne Allen and others entertained the crowd of 750 attendees.

The Silent Auction and Live Auction conducted by Hope Meares raised $205,000!

The funds will go to support the foundation’s four focus areas; Breast Cancer Prevention and Research, Family Effect, Clemson’s Call Me Mister Program, and the Life Programs. In addition, the Foundation awards grants based on need and fit within the mission statement and focus areas.

Coach Swinney, “A huge “Thank You” to everyone for an amazing Ball. So many lives are directly impacted by everyone’s support. Kath and I appreciate all of you so much. It is truly an ALL IN Team. We can't wait until next year.”

Next year’s All In Ball is scheduled for Friday April 10, 2015.
