Panama City Beach, FL (January 25, 2013) – Collegiate Marketing Group, Gildan Activewear and Panama City Beach’s Tourist Development Council (TDC) have partnered together to produce and distribute the first annual ‘Official’ Spring Break souvenir T-shirt.
Gildan Activewear is providing 30,000 high quality shirts which will have a unique Spring Break themed design on the back, along with eight other additional sponsors’ logos. The TDC’s logo will be placed on the front of the shirt.
The souvenir shirts will be given away free during the month of March to students as a thank you for continuing to make Panama City Beach the “Spring Break Capital of the World”. The shirts will be available at multiple locations, including hotel lobbies, clubs, events, and on the beach.
“Spring Break and free T-shirts have been synonymous with each other for decades,” said Carm Giardina, a representative of Collegiate Marketing Group – the agency not only tasked with co-producing the project, but also managing the promotion of it. “It’s the one souvenir spring breakers expect to come home with – a badge of honor proving they attended the number one student party of the year.”
The eight other shirt co-sponsors have contributed generously in making this one-of-a-kind T-shirt possible for students to take home and appreciate. “This is their way of giving back to spring breakers and thanking them for their business,” confirmed Giardina.
