DDB Meeting || What is Florida Citrus Sports?

Today was my first experience with Florida citrus sports as I participated in a presentation by Steve Hogan.  The organization is Charity Based and focuses on children and education.  Did you know Florida Citrus Sports is a Not for profit organization?

Did you know that they were instrumental for several neutral site games for both college and the NFL, and Olympic Soccer in 1996?

I didn't know Georgia Tech won the National Championship at the Citrus Bowl | tore down the goal posts and carried the posts to Church Street Station.

The economic impact of the events brought to the Metro Orlando area by Florida Citrus Sports is staggering, for example The Florida Classic (AKA - Soul Bowl) brings $30,000,000 to the Orlando area, not to mention the Capital One Bowl and Champs Bowl.  There will be 10 National Televised Programs preformed in 2009 as well! Last, during Bowl Week, The Orlando Citrus Parade is televised to over 85 million homes.
