The Arc of Horry's PB&J Competition
What is The Arc of Horry's PB&J Competition about?
The PB&J competition is a friendly rivalry between the two colleges—Coastal Carolina and Horry Georgetown Tech—in which they will compete to create the most PB&Js.
At the end of the event or when all PB&Js run out—whichever comes first—we will count the PB&Js and distribute them to areas of need, such as food banks/soup kitchens, churches, women's shelters, etc. The event is in connection with MLK Day, where a day of service should be every day, not a day off. This is in partnership with The Arc of the United States, The Arc of South Carolina, and AmeriCorps.
The event, though, is open to all, regardless of whether they're currently students.
