Southern Recipe Small Batch, former NFL greats partner during annual Pork Rind Appreciation Day campaign
Consumers can win $5,000, autographed merchandise, pork rinds, and more.
Southern Recipe Small Batch pork rinds has announced its fourteenth annual Pork Rind Appreciation Day campaign. The foodie holiday, which has gained national recognition as being tied to its founding brands, will again support Coach Ditka’s Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund (GGAF). Consumers can participate in this year’s “Sacks for Snacks” Sweepstakes, leading up to the biggest football day of the season on February 12, as Southern Recipe Small Batch brings awareness to the pork rind category. By playing along, consumers will have a chance to win $5,000, autographed merchandise, pork rinds, and more. The partnership will also simultaneously raise awareness and funds for GGAF. Ambassadors this season are Carl Eller and Mike Golic.
The “Sacks for Snacks” theme this year will celebrate the history and love of football, shared by some of the National Football League’s (NFL) most beloved players who have since left the field. 2022/2023 GGAF spokesperson Carl Eller, former defensive end for the Minnesota Vikings and Pro Football Hall of Famer, racked up over 130 sacks during his 15 years in the NFL. Also representing GGAF this year is Mike Golic, former defensive tackle for the Houston Oilers and Philadelphia Eagles. Golic is also known for his 23 years as a radio host and analyst for ESPN, most notably as co-host of ESPN Radio’s Mike & Mike from 2000 to 2017.
